Imagine thinking a small blip in time is in any way significant enough for the whole universe. You self-haters are a weird mix of hating humans yet wanting them to be extremely relevant.
Not sure what you're talking about.
I'm stating a simple fact. Humans will eventually go extinct. I'm also stating another simple fact. That humans are destructive, by nature. So the universe will be more balanced without us in it.
If that upsets you, I'm not sorry.
Not only is this not a fact, it doesn't even make sense. What "balance" are you talking about? The universe isn't tipping over.
Also have you seen the rest of nature? We have nothing on the destructive power of natural disasters and even all of our nuclear bombs would be just a fart compared to some of the destructive forces in space.
I'm talking about human being one species on one small planet orbiting one small star in one small galaxy among trillions of galaxies.
If a single ant dies, is the world better or worse for it? And one ant towards the whole population of earth is still a bigger ratio than humanity compared to the observable universe, yet alone the whole of it.
And that's before you even factor time into it. We've been here what, few million years? That's not even a blip on the timescale so far and the time so far is only a blip compared to the expected final age of the universe.
So no, universe won't be a better place without us, we're largely irrelevant for the universe.
And I found it a little paradoxical how you self-hating folk are so full of it that you make us way more important than we'll ever be.
