Honestly, in the course of our species living in servitude to a few thousand sociopaths who've used their capital/power to convince us that meaningless productivity for toxic economic metasisis is "the only way forward" and the meaning of life, I've come to realize their terraforming of our only habitat against our physically fragile species in their blind, reckless pursuit of ever moar is a purely accidental mercy.

Extinction is far preferable to generation after generation sacrificing themselves from cradle to grave solely to enrich our modern pharoahs of avarice and their nepo progeny without end. Sometimes extinct is better.

You're free to disagree, of course, but better to see the silver lining in what our species is quite literally dead set to do and well into accomplishing. Im just glad greed caused climate change won't permit this torturous, exploitative civilization to continue for more than another half century or so.

There are some studies that say the Sahara desert is actually the result of mass farming goats in the area that removed so much of the vegetation it started a cascading effect of desertification.

We have a long history of fucking up the planet for reasons that are silly in hindsight that leaves scars that literally affect the future of the planet. Unfortunately I don't think there will ever be a swift and merciful end but one that drags out so don't go praising the suffering to come yet.
