Mass Extinction!

[Anomalocaris]

The ultimate welfare of the human race depends on a healthy Planet. A Planet should be nutured, not looked upon soley as a resource. A mutual co-existence.

It is only wrong in the sense that it makes no sense to kill ourselves.

You say you want to make humans important, would it not be better that humans survive, thus one day becoming important in a wider context.

Taking the long view, the ultimate welfare of human race actually depends on our getting off this planet. At the present we need this planet. But the survival of humans will eventually entail our leaving this planet behind. Ultimately our industrial capacity will need to be orders of magnitude larger then now, and we will need to extract a orders of magnitude more resource from our planet then we have hitherto, to facilitate our departure. So in the short run we might take care not to burn down our own house. But in the long run we have no business nurturing the planet in any way that does not facilitate our extracting the resources we need to make our emigration possible.
