We as a species cause the extinction of other species at such a rate that we’re considered on par with geologic processes (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction). I’m not here to argue that this is a good thing, but instead that, hell, let’s at least turn this terrible ability towards some good. Guinea worms and a. gambiae suck. The former causes pain and suffering without any detectable benefit. The latter is probably the biggest killer of humans, and there’s plenty of other stuff its predators can eat. Screw them.
