I think if we found an organism that drives hundreds of other species to extinction a day, we'd do our damndest to eradicate it.
Unfortunately that organism is us. Human exceptionalism is gross. We deserve to go extinct.
It's sad that you think that way
No, the sad thing is that he is right. We could coexist with other species, but instead we choose to exploit the natural environment to its limits.
I was referring to the "we should go extinct" part, I agree that what we're doing to nature is horrible but I don't think collectively dying is the answer. Honestly it would speak wonders for human exceptionalism if we actually managed to get this under control.
Just curious what you think it says about us if we don’t manage to get it under control?
Our societies and technologies evolved faster than our instincts and minds could
Couldn't have said it better myself
I was referring to the same words...
