      Out of curiosity, do you consider priests who don't have kids selfish?

      I think he's addressing these specific people, and more broadly the type of person who refers to human beings as a cancer on the planet.

      Hyperbole. Destroying the ozone layer. Polluting rivers & air. Filling the oceans with plastic. Hunting endangered species to extinction.

      & your reply "the element doing better" is such a convenient rebuttal, since these people are direct contradictions to your statement.

      That we are 'kind of' a cancer but can do better? No, I don't think so. I'd not say 'cancer.' I'd say disproportionately destructive

      Alot of things are disproportionately destructive, cancer is something that ultimately kills it's host. So I don't get the comparison.

      Then don't make it. I won't. I'll say kind of except that we can do better.

          Yh, "kind of" isn't an argument. Alot of things (including other species) would then be "kind of" like cancer.

          No, it wasn't an argument. It was an offhand tweet in part of a conversation that didn't really go anywhere.

          It is not inevitable that we will destroy ourselves and all the other mammals. We can fix this problem.

          I agree, and I think that's what people are trying to do. There's been many steps forward to preservation, so I stay optimistic.

          To put a cap on this, Peterson has said multiple times that people who refer to humans as a cancer on the planet shouldn't be put in charge.

          And hes made it clear that he thinks (as a psychologist) that some such people have similar underground motives as the likes of Eric Harris.
