A tumor is a part of an organism that has mutated to play a much shorter game than the organism itself. Humanity seems to be a tumor on the biosphere. The industrial revolution is that happy moment when the host was switched to mostly delivering nutrients to the tumor.

If so, it is H. Sapiens alone who make this determination. Until such time we can communicate with other species.
We can't be so certain that we are where the process of evolution intends to go. I mean, were causing our own extinction at the moment. Life seems to have more of a harmonious balance without our intervention

As far as we know, evolution does not have intentions - it proceeds by conjecture and criticism, essentially. And I think it could be argued that we're always 'causing' our extinction - namely, every solution we create carries some risk, and begets new problems.

From my understanding evolution optimises for increasingly ordered complexity Hrm maybe we're just hitting a lot more of the barriers to growth than other species got a chance to reach

We know biological evolution has not intentions. Neither does cultural evolution objectively. Life isn't more of a harmonious balance without our intervention. E.g. population explosions, famines, viral plagues, sudden drastic climate change (ice ages), species extinctions.
