You have to feel somewhat proud to have achieved such extreme evolutionary success. Only recently have we expanded to other meta goals like conservation.

By the measure that we apply to nearly every other species on earth, humans win.

A world with just humans, their pets, their cattle and a few hardy 'pests' won't feel much like a victory.

We have also the metaverse. Just like for us the vegetables came from supermarkets (and not from peasants), the reality will come from the metaverse.

I don't understand - what measure?

[hermitcrab]

Evolution is about competition. So I guess if your species destroys every other species then you have 'won' in some sense. But only in the same sense that you have 'won' a nuclear war if your counties is the only one in the world with any survivors.

Kickin' the most ass

Sorry, but that’s nonsense. There were millions of humans living side by side with these bison before both were genocided.

Equating “civilization” with “humanity” or “human nature” is a false equivalence.

Depends if you wanna figure out the mysteries of the universe or live in subsistence, either are fine by me
