Even if that were true, that there is no sentient/intelligent life other than us to recognise beauty and harmony, it still wouldn't give us the right to destroy

Even if that were true, that there is no sentient/intelligent life other than us to recognise beauty and harmony, it still wouldn't give us the right to destroy it. At least until we have the knowledge and ability to recreate all of what we have destroyed. Maybe not even then.
- JackFr 8y agoThis is religion. Either the universe doesn't give a damn about your esthetics, or it does. I'd be curious as why you think it does? (Full disclosure - I believe it does, but I'm also a believer in an organized religion.)
- chki 8y agoBut why wouldn't it give us the "right" to destroy it? Is there a "right and wrong" without any sentient life making an ethical choice?
