Yeah, it's not a hugely popular philosophy with the pro-human crowd, lol.

But really, what do you expect of a species barely differentiated from chimps? Genocide and in-group obsession is in our blood; we are cursed by our genes. It would be cool if something like super-smart ants took over for a while. Or flying dolphins.

Yeah it would be cool to not exist, and it’s really cool to just give up on the future of our species, and to go around declaring this worldview at any opportunity, especially when some sucker specifically asks what makes you optimistic - that’s the coolest time to spring your teenage anti-humanism on them.

Touchy much? It does make me optimistic. There's a whole lot more to this planet than the humans. You don't have to agree, but sorry, that doesn't invalidate MY optimism. To each their own :)
