Hmm. I guess I don’t necessarily disagree with your premise… But maybe your value judgment.
Does the suffering humanity inflicts/ experiences outweigh the joy/ love/ happiness humanity causes/ experiences?
And, I guess personally, I don’t weight all life equally. I value more complex life as more valuable. I care about a dolphin more than a stink bug. I think humanity’s ability to evaluate itself and reason is precious and rare, certainly in the history of the planet, potentially in the universe. Even if humanity can never really improve its disposition to be more compassionate or less greedy, why put out the light of a complex mind experiencing and observing itself?
