Considering humans are the demonstrated reason for climate change, I'd argue some anti-human sentiment is a bit overdue. Nature's going to be fine. Life will recover once we're gone. It's us humans that are going to suffer because of our humanist entitlement.
- quotemstr 8y agoThe idea that some environmenal metric is more important than human suffering is bizarre and vaguely masochistic. The environment is an instrumental good for humanity's use, not a legitimate moral object in itself. Human extinction is a maximally bad scenario no matter how well the environment does afterwards
- Sileni 8y agoNo, I'm saying pumping more neglected children into the world to satisfy your ego is childish and the exact mentality that put us in this position to begin with, and if we continue to ignore that the mechanism that self corrects for our overpopulation or over consumption is going to cause far more suffering than any human policy could. But keep choking down the cognitive dissonance however it's palatable to you, it's clear you're not responding to what I'm saying but what you're hearing.
