> You didn't answer the question. What's wrong with it? this thread began with the answer to that question: "wars, plagues, famines, climate change, terrorism, being stuck in a career you hate, burning to death in a fire, the unending history of exploitative labor practices, etc., ..." human survival is illegitimate in and of it self, without concern for the ecology we displace. (there is tremendous suffering in the animal world, and i think it would be fantastic if we could turn that off) > For double-bonus-points, explain why your answer doesn't imply that all tool users anywhere in the universe should immediately commit suicide. feel free to read through my comment history. that's exactly what i advocate. i am not opposed to extinction - i'm opposed to surviving and struggling, because of the inevitability of suffering.
