“Looking into alternative theories and making your own judgement” seems like code for “there are ways around uncomfortable feelings”. I accept we are absolutely brutal animals who have significantly altered Earth’s environment and the other life here which, per Darwin, differs by degree rather than by kind. I don’t feel guilty about our past, and I accept my responsibility to do better (within my learned and adopted value-system where ecological diversity is important for resilience during inevitable change, and where the human story carries on unbroken for some arbitrary length of time. That seems meaningful, and maybe the best way is through culture and oral tradition?). It’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling, and important to decide what to do next.
