      Good point! (I think that over a long enough timespan, it would produce some selection pressure, since it is too infectious and severe at the same time.)

      I find it fascinating. My everyday thoughts are more horrible than this.

      Me, too. At some point I concluded that the demise of the species is inevitable, due to the industrial revolution, but that without this terrible decision, we would not be so comfortably alive and talking and understanding things. We are lucky to be born so close to the end.

      Our demise would have been inevitable but for the industrial revolution. We existed for 1 - 3 hundred thousand years perhaps without population growth, without much in the way of technology growth. Then our demise seemed inevitable.

      The reason that our population was stable was that we were sustainable

      Is that what we observe in other populations of animals? Populations are stable because they are constrained. By bad things, from an individual within that population's point of view.

      No, that would be very short-sighted! I suspect that many species have evolved mechanisms that prevent them from overgrazing their food chain. Many ecosystems are probably shepherded by their apex predators.

      You will find that most premodern cultures have traditions that ask for planning seven generations into the future or so. Rapid technological process has ended this. Our bumbling search for spirituality is the phantom limb we formed after we amputated longtermist culture.

          Perhaps this is something we will redisover. The discovery of new knowledge always changes things though. And the discovery of new knowledge is inherently unpredictable.
