During these first days of the third decade of the twenty-first century, as we watch humans, animals, trees, insects, fungi, ecosystems, forests, rivers (and on and on) being killed, we find ourselves without a word to name what is happening. True, in recent years, environmentalists have coined the term ecocide, the killing of ecosystems — but this is something more. This is the killing of everything. Omnicide.

ABC Religion & Ethics

Humans are reasonable at self awareness

but terrible at awareness at the species level, as a species on a global scale, we are dismissive of overpopulation, dismissive of consequences.

Many people lack the ability to stand back and see things from a distance.

on top of that politicians with ego, people who expect things in return, corruption, greed, ownership of ideas secretive attitudes towards information……

displacement

lots of humans displaces other nature, the computations are in progress, all around

Aliens ?

Tau.Neutrino said:

Aliens ?

or yes too many greedy ignorant people will be the cause?

I see religion as part of the cause as well.

what’s the big deal, when we’re left with only 5 extant species then we will look awesome when we do nothing and they diverge into 10, biodiversity doubled on our watch

and with only 5 species we won’t ever be able to “while out 90% of them so all good

it’s more just a numbers thing, if any other species proliferated like our own, causing similar problems, we’d be sterilizing them, or culling them

I wonder if people would give up a physical body if your mind stayed intact and all physical stimulations could be replicated inside a computer network

Aliens could be watching and waiting for such an event to trigger a culling and all left handers get to survive, a fair criteria as it would include all races, cultures, religion, etc

doubt’t, you got blood flow, burning sugar and oxygen, in your body, including that big brain, all part of the experience, even a marginally intellectual idea is inspired so.
