There's this idea that we should be sad about this. I say, if you're sad about it, I understand. I feel a little sad, too.
But I'm also curious about what comes next. What will only get a chance to live thanks to the things that have died? What will humans be able to do in the aftermath? It sounds morbid, but if you just let yourself play with these thoughts they can lead somewhere different and interesting.
The future is not full of only despair[] .

- ambrose2 4y agoThis argument always upsets me. You’re curious about what new species will come about in hundreds of thousands of years, millions? It’s certainly not going to be anytime soon. With the loss of biodiversity, we either have less life or more of life which isn’t preferable. I forget the best examples, but invasive species will spread further, and wreak further havoc, and then what? What kind of better world are you imagining this will enable?
- Scarblac 4y agoThat will take millions, tens of millions of years. I don't see what use it is to be curious about that when no human will see it.
