And, instead of addressing your personality flaws, you can imagine yourself saving the world from overpopulation.https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/911666932503449607 …

How is humanity cancer?
-
Hyperbole. Destroying the ozone layer. Polluting rivers & air. Filling the oceans with plastic. Hunting endangered species to extinction.
-
And the people who are aware & are actively working on these things, what're they?
-
The element doing better.
-
You do realize the things you listed, won't affect the planet in the long run right? Just us and some other species.
-
Yes. It's us and other species I am worried about.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/911899960102277120 …

So are the people ranting at me in defence of having children, btw. I assume they want them to survive.

Maybe you are. Most people aren't though. Feel free not to breed and instead give your spare resources to someone who does.
-
Most people aren't because they can't afford to be. Those of us who can could be more responsible for the sake of our children's future.

Even if we don't care about the other animals & inhabitants of the sea. Humanity has not been good for the other inhabitants of this planet
-
I see you eat alot of animals and plants to keep that size, like a family of 3 from a 3rd world country, start first with yourself
-
Absolutely right. I am doing so. Limiting meat. Solar panels. Reduce & reuse plastic. Doesn't change the point tho. We can all do better.

No, you are the only observable chance for life to extend beyond this one planet. It is unlikely, but you may be the universes only hope.
-
shame so few of "them" have any notion of the fact that all this planet's life is doomed without profound HUMAN technological innovation.
-
and slowing that innovation down in any way might be the straw that breaks the camels's back, prevents the interception of asteroid, etc.
-
There is a non-zero probability that intelligence is a self eliminating trait of evolution that can take down an entire planets ecosystem.
-
Yes, quite possibly. I'd still recommend trying not to let that happen tho or delaying it happening.
-
It most certainly will not be from predation, pollution, or anthropogenic climate change. Those are primarily aesthetic changes.
-
Oh for goodness sake...
-
The fact that you find a world without extinctions to be aesthetically pleasing does not negate the fact that every species goes extinct.
