So more humans is value neutral but more earth-like planets is value positive? Your standards seem bizarre. Can you please elaborate?

As i replied to the sibling comment, coming from another species perspective it would be reasonable to assume that a world optimized to fulfill the need of another species, such as humans would be seen as negative. It's not like they can enact their discontent, so i would argue we have to account for other species as well when we remodel the natural world.

Evolutionary adaptation takes a while, so its not nice to change things fast.

Those that can adapt quickly will be quite happy about it.

So who gets to set the metric?
