just remember. the planet is going to be just fine.
remember how quickly wildlife came back when covid shutdowns hit? it'll be like that when the last human dies.
Great. The ants, cockroaches and rats will fight over world domination once we drove nearly everything else into extinction. That‘s so reassuring. I only ever cared about the ants anyway. /s
I genuinely don‘t give a shit about the 99% of the planet that isn‘t it‘s outer crust so obviously I don‘t care if „the planet will be fine“ either. That‘s not mine or your world. Neither is anything that happens in millions of years after pretty much every species we ever knew is no longer there. It‘s such a straw man argument. Nobody is talking about what that clown was talking about when saying „the planet“ and he knew it.
you're thinking too small scale.
in 150 million years after humans who knows what kind of life will evolve.
The last human will be descendant of billionaires who’s lineage lived underground for 8 generations
