Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Sure, but that doesn't in any way make Thalmor exceptions rather than the rule.

I don't think you're wrong, 'cept that wanting their mortal state to end and "return" to their supposed "divinie original" state is an Altmer desire not a Thalmor one.

And the way to do that is stop Talos divinity somehow, kill all humans and/or do something with the Tower. In my mind at least, the whole idea seems absurd and the Thalmor are just asking for something to go wrong. As it is, most elven races (excluding the Chimer/Dunmer) sought to transcend Mundus and the idea is not strictly an Altmeri one. There I very much agree with you.

So then you agree that the issue is with all Mer?

They are too dangerous to be left alone, they might destroy the world at any moment?
