Humans need to go extinct for the good of every non-human on the planet. We're never going to get a critical mass of people worldwide on the right page to continue increasing our population without wrecking everything.

Live long and die out.

Selfishness is coded into us by evolution. It's genetic. Lots of people will agree with me on this.

What I get a lot of pushback on, is that selflessness is the same. It has evolutionary benefits for a familial group, and so gets selected for.

Selfishness may have been selected for tens of millions of years ago in our evolution, but as pre-humans became social animals it's clear that selfless or other-centric thinking became strongly selected for as well. You otherwise couldn't have a species that's almost entirely other-dependent, throughout the whole life but especially for the first 10-15 years of it.

Humans can't sustainably exist outside of a society.
