Mass Extinction!
#44
RE: Mass Extinction!
I have not lost my connection to my home. But I do not place more sentimental value on my home than I do on my own prosperity than those of my progenies. Maybe there are more important things in the universe to some people than the human race, but I am not one of those people. To me the ultimate welfare of the human race overrides all else. I have no care at all about any universe which we humans do not stand to benefit from in some way that ultimately translates to our improved well being. What is the importance of the human race? Human race is the only thing that can prioritize and conceptualize importance. So Nothing, including humans, is important to anything else other than the humans. So we humans might as well make ourselves important.

To choose to do nothing in the face of destruction of the biota may be foolish since we benefit from the biota. But it is not wrong for any other reason. For what other reason should we stop it? What is the basis for asserting that which is dying out is more deserving of life than that which will inevitably replace it?
