        Don’t worry, we’ll be extinct soon, hopefully. Maybe even before int32_t runs out. Unfortunately not soon enough to stop the humans impact on earth before the worst damage is done.

          well there have been mass extinctions before, the most notable maybe oxygenation catastrophe , mainly caused by photosynthetic life.

          And it represented a major breakthrough for life on Earth, so i doubt that this one is an irreparable crisis.

          I’ll let you in on a secret.

          Humanity and the animals that we like will get through just fine.

          Humans in general and the vast majority of biodiversity will be fucked if it ever happens.

          I firmly believe it won’t. Too many good people in the world doing far more than the shitty ones.
