From a purely Scientific Materialist POV, is it bad if Humanity goes Extinct?

@GeistInTheMachine have you seen the clip of Les U Knight being interviewed by Tucker Carlson? I absolutely adore his sweet, calm, pleasant demeanor. I think of it whenever I explain antinatalism to someone.

@Doomflower I think I have. He's awesome. Trying to explain things to Americans... Very tough.

I think I hate Fucker more than Handjob Hannity, though.

@GeistInTheMachine yeah I grew up listening to their garbage until I was about 18.

@reflectingmonkey Precisely. Anything else is conceit.

@SW-User The rotting human corpses alone would make great meals for the flora and fauna!

The Circle of Life is Glorious! 😎

@GeistInTheMachine 😂 👍

@SW-User That's what the Chinese call a Win-Win.

@NerdyPotato Exactly. I am all for it. I don't see a downside.

@GeistInTheMachine maybe we should clean up a little before we disappear, but otherwise I agree.

@NerdyPotato Agreed in theory. But in practice every year we stay alive as a race/species, the more likely we will take the world with us one way or another.

So it's best Armageddon comes quickly! 🙃

@Longpatrol

@Longpatrol That would be awesome, lmao. And that is what is going to happen anyway, but with scarcity and ethnic wars, civil and race wars etc.

Humanity is a self-correcting disease.

@Longpatrol I love that quote! Damn true.

Plus, remember folks, it's not genocide if we kill everyone equally.

Blacks, whites, muslims...

It's a killing fiesta!

@MethDozer Love ya man, but gotta disagree.

@MethDozer we can better protect ourselves against the elements than most species, but we're also the ones changing those. So it's really a toss up.

@NerdyPotato @NerdyPotato The planet isn't going to remain inhabital forever reguardless if we ever existed or did not exist. It also has nothing to do with protecting ourselves from the elements.


Also, Like BlueV explains. Science has no rigjt or wrong, good or bad.



Here's the thing though. Scientifically speaking, there's nothing that makes what we do unnatural since everything we do is due to our nature. So there is that. Then there is this, scientifically speaking no species or amount of species is important. So we go to the other aspectbof the question which is the materialistic stance. From a materialistic stance, we are the species who can keep at least one part Earth based life going past the life of the planet and to other planets. So from a materialistic point the answer is yes.

It's evolution man, that's all that is happening.
