    It died when I realized I was born into the species that kills all the other species.

      Thats just more reasons to be studying those species before they die out so we can properly prevent the dying.

      Thats, like, 40% of my job

        We are still competing when we should have been cooperating 50 years ago as a global society. There is no preventing the coming catastrophe Imo.

          Oh, well in that case youre flat faced wrong. We can absolutely avert a large amount of the damage coming, easy.

          It will require a lot of legislation to reign in corporation pollution and ecological destruction, but we arent even close to the event horizon. Quit reading doom and gloom fluff pieces.

              Ive already told you I work in the field of ecology.

              Its not hope, its the conclusions derived from the work I do.

              The conclusions which get cut in half, summarized, misread, reworded, and then dramatized by doom and gloom fluff pieces to get clicks.

              Do me a favor? Pull your head out of your ass before it gets stuck around your jawline. We arent fucked yet, but your shitbrained attitude is doing its best to make sure we get fucked.

                  Do you? Cause it sounds like you dont think Im wrong, rather that you want me to be.

                  Its not a normal response to have someone who works with the thing your concerned about telling you its not as bad as youve heard and you call them naive and young.

                    Honestly no, I hope humans destroy themselves before we can spread to other planets.

                    People a lot smarter than you or I have been arguing about this for decades. Have you read the Limits to Growth? Do you think we will magically become a sustainable circular economy before crop failure starts to happen? We’re gonna capitalism our way right off the cliff baby.
