"If we have the ability to do something, we must do it, even if we annihilate ourselves in the doing". Such will be said, only unironically instead. It's the core belief of the Cult of Progress that dominates this site, and I am phrasing it that way to hit some nerves, maybe spark a smidge of introspection, though I'm not hopeful on the latter :P

The Sentinelese and the various uncontacted and/or hunter-gathering tribes still in existence across Australia, sub-Saharan Africa, and South America would tend to disagree with this notion. And barring complete ecological collapse, they'll be here after we're gone :)
