    I think if we found an organism that drives hundreds of other species to extinction a day, we’d do our damndest to eradicate it.

    Unfortunately that organism is us. Human exceptionalism is gross. We deserve to go extinct.

        No, the sad thing is that he is right. We could coexist with other species, but instead we choose to exploit the natural environment to its limits.

          I was referring to the “we should go extinct” part, I agree that what we’re doing to nature is horrible but I don’t think collectively dying is the answer. Honestly it would speak wonders for human exceptionalism if we actually managed to get this under control.

        I’m sad for the natural world that we are taking down with us. 70% of all species. 150 different species permanently erased every day.
