I think its alright. If humanity dies out, I think we are simply not intelligent enough to live on. We built systems of capitalism and killed our planet. So be it.
Ok, got it, you flip flopped from 'nah it wont be that bad' to 'well if we all die thats just fate'.
Thats uh, either death cult thinking mentality, or extreme apathy after being explained why the position you hold is wrong, which in my experience, is extremely stereotypical Boomer behavior.
'This won't be a problem'
Actually it will, here's why.
'Oh well, nothing to do about it.'
Yes, thank you for being an obstinate, disingenuous hypocrite, very useful and productive behavior.
I am amazed that you can just say the end of the human species is 'alright'.
The moral selfishness of that is astounding.
Im just being honest. Not sure how many people feel like I do about it. Perhaps just a handful, perhaps millions.
But yeah, im sure its selfish to just not care that much about what happens to humanity.
Im selfish in that way. I accept what happens.
Well at least you can admit you are selfish at the level of your own entire species and whether or not it continues to exist, to say nothing of all of the destruction this will do to the biosphere and countless billions of non human animals.
Its usually pretty hard to get Boomers to admit they have any negative attributes at all, because they are all perfect in all the ways that matter to them.
I have many flaws. But I do actually like who i am. Im honest, and kind. But I dont have high hopes for the future of humanity.
