    70% of all species have been driven to extinction in the 250,000 years we’ve existed. How many of them megafauna before we even invented language?

    Humans drive 150 different species extinct a day, and we’re just gearing up for the great climate collapse.

    Put aside your human exceptionalism. If we found an organism that obliterates the natural world at such a pace, we’d do everything in our power to eradicate it.

    Hopefully we delete ourselves before we spread to other planets.

      Put aside your human exceptionalism

      I’ve made no such claim. I’ve only pointed out that if you look around and everyone sucks, you’re revealing more about yourself than you are accurately describing humanity. In your case, it’s very obvious even without that.
