(Between this, and the weird sulking earlier, I'm starting to think you're a tad too emotionally attached to the fate of fictional cartoon ghosts, but let's run with that, okay.)

Here is the thing: Nobody in-universe would actually be risking anything by working on a peaceful solution. At all. No risk.

As we've already established, there isn't any risk to the souls involved, because they are unageing and eternal, not suffering, and won't remember any of this. None of the souls involved are at risk here.

There also presumably isn't any serious risk to the balance of souls, since it was functioning just fine pre Winter War, where we can fairly assume that nearly zero Gillians, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lordes were being killed, since Rukia had only ever heard of one appearing from her textbooks, despite being close to two captains and a lieutenant.

Also, nobody would need to wait for a future scientist to join their ranks. Urahara, Mayuri, and Hikifune are all already there. We're not waiting for them to appear, they're there, and not on terrible terms with each other. You're probably also overestimating how long it would take, given that the technology to create a functional soul already exists, and Urahara has already been researching Hollows for over a century.

Also, if we're talking about how souls shouldn't be trapped together to form emergent personalities and should be freed immediately, then you also need to destroy all zanpakuto, since it's canon now that they're created almost exactly the same way as Menos are, just with less eating involved.

Actually, I would think that should be a higher priority than killing off arrancar, since zanpakuto take their personalities from their wielders anyway - they're not true, emergent people. #BreakAllZanpakuto2016.

Now who is brushing things under the carpet? The author already stated only shinigami can purify souls to absolve them of sins and send them to soul society, Quincy remnants were killed almost to the last for destroying souls, yes you heard it right, Destroyed, souls are not indestructible. Any other method of hollows dying from consumption and shinigami purification is resulting in the complete destruction of souls. Regular hollows are driven by hunger to consume in order to evolve, same with Gillians, those above can think without the all consuming hunger driving them, so for the most part they kill each other. Starrk's mere existence was killing any hollow below Vasto Lorde by sheer proximity hence eradicating their congregate souls, Barragan was acting tyrant in HM killing others on a whim. We're dealing with a net loss of souls. Im pretty sure destroying souls is considered a sin that is a one way ticket to hell when they die, not matter how unintentional the act is

If you insist on keeping bringing up cancer, great it was bad analogy, want to keep attacking it like Donald Trump? We're not pointing fingers at who is more morally correct but how to solve the greatest crisis in Bleach
