And that makes it somehow okay? You just don't care about billions of deaths?

Like, do you think I'd argue that any of the previous mass extinctions were good?

Without the most recent one, mammals and thus humans wouldn't have flourished... So yes. If you conversely care about those people dying, then you should be celebrating the comet that killed the dinosaurs

[Timon3]

Could you explain why I "should" be celebrating that? There's no logical sequence leading from "caring about people & animals dying" to "one should think that previous mass extinctions were good".

[mf2hd]

We might not be here without those mass extinction events. So yeah, they were good, fck the dinos.

[Timon3]

I think the mere fact that they resulted in comments like yours proves they were objectively not good.

[bcjdjsndon]

So why are you upset that it might disappear? Make your mind up

[therobots927]

Not good but definitely inevitable. It’s sort of like a cache clearing mechanism for the sim.

[Timon3]

The current mass extinction was in no way inevitable, it is caused by humans. We can still have an unknowably large impact on the number of lives lost. I don't know why we should pretend otherwise.

[bcjdjsndon]

Sorry but how will a return to a hot climate kill all life? +2c and the earth dies? It's apocalyptic hysterical thinking

[Timon3]

Why are you thoughtlessly spamming climate denier talking points? Nobody said anything about all life being killed.
