You’re not wrong, but it’s important to note that “life has adapted” means “billions or trillions of deaths”.

- fumar 3y agoRight, ELE, extinction level events. We are living through one. Is it inevitable if one species becomes too dominant on earth? We are earth after all.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y ago> Is it inevitable if one species becomes too dominant on earth? I am fairly certain that this is the first time a single species has become too dominant across the entire Earth. Maybe single celled life forms? Diseases?

- rufus_foreman 3y agoIn this instance it was thousands of years though: > "Not only did polar bear survive these two extended periods when ice-free summers prevailed, but the Eemian warm summers came only about 10,000 years after the bears arose as a unique species. This makes polar bear survival through the Eemian even more impressive than most scientists acknowledge."

- erulabs 3y agoBy that logic, murder is no crime, since everyone dies eventually anyways. Hopefully you can see how "lengthening billions of lives" has some moral and economic value.
- redeeman 3y agono, if one group of polar bears are gluttons, and that causes one polar bear to not have any food and thus starves to death, it does not mean the fat greedy polar bears are murderers. Hopefully you can see that your interpretation of what I said is grossly wrong to the point where it almost seems like intentionally attempting to misrepresent it
