so if human lives are priceless, then we are prioritizing it over other life on the planet. This may not have been a big deal until now that we have ~8 billion people. This worldview will eventually kill everything to preserve humanity, which will ironically kill humanity.
You aren't evil for saying human life is not infinitely more valuable than all other life. There's a point where the scale tips.
I enjoyed reading a book by the late Finnish conservationist Pentti Linkola, who said that to achieve healthy levels of biodiversity that the value of a species should become less valuable as it becomes overpopulated. (e.g. house cats are not as important as tigers right now, given tiger endangerment). It applies to humans.
