If Life is Meaningless Anyway, then What's Wrong with Religion?

Do you think we're unique in that the ecosystem would go on without us?

No.

I think we're unique in the way that without us, the ecosystem would improve.

For example, as you may know I do a little bit of fishing once in a while up in Alaska. The department of fish and game has resorted to constructing platforms along certain rivers to keep people from walking directly on the banks because it's detrimental to the habitat of baby salmon, which use the vegetation along the banks as a food source and shelter from predators.

I sense an eschatological turn in there, somewhere. Are you suggesting I should care more about other species than my own?
