> A mass extinction is terrible solely because of the impact it may have on humans, on human life. That's it.
Sure, I agree. But as it happens, I am a human, and I want to live in a society where I as a human don't have to experience a mass extinction.
I don't want to survive in a capsule on Mars, or even in a capsule on Earth once it's impossible to live outside on big parts of the globe. I want to live on Earth, with some amount of biodiversity. And I want to change society to achieve that.
