But he must also accept that life comes from death and the evolution (we should really call it a competition) he speaks off extinguished a large numbers of species. We might be one of them, and we're also victim of our own nature. We can try to resist it, but what will arise from our extinction ? Maybe something better, we have no special purpose nor duty.
- amelius 4y agoNo. We are the first species that can understand the consequences of our doings, and thus we are fully accountable. Saying that maybe something better will arise is wishful thinking.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoI’d argue that people don’t actually comprehend consequence very well, and I sincerely doubt we do it much better than some other species. We have priorities which overwhelm our ability to reason well and self-serving tendencies which seem to exacerbate this problem. We’re good at technology but woefully bad at many things. I’m not aiming to argue here, especially not to suggest we shouldn’t be accountable. I suppose I think we give ourselves too much credit and other species not enough. We are objectively bad, especially collectively, at making good choices for the world we inhabit. It’s evidently a deficiency of our species.
