Ah look, the monthly misanthropic, humanphobic post! Right on time!
We are natural organisms, our behaviour is animal behaviour, we have as much right to be here and do what we do as any other animal.
Why not hope for a smaller, more sustainable population like a sensible person, instead of willing us all to drop down dead?
The only reason you care about the environment and are bothered by certain human behaviour is because it is human nature to care. We care because we want to live and live well, and we can't do that without the planet we're a part of. But hoping for the extinction of our species is valuing all other life above human life, and runs contrary to our natural instinct for self-preservation. You are essentially saying we are worthless. That we deserve to die.
Well, you might be worthless. In my opinion, there are a lot of wonderful people in the world and whilst we as a species are an unwieldy, powerful and ubiquitous presence that doesn't always get it right (by our own definition of right), I like humanity, we are amazing animals and an incredibly successful product of evolution, of the nature of Earth. I hope we continue :)
IIN that I believe humans going extinct would be a GOOD thing?
