    I hate this kind of doomerism so much.

    I know it’s just a shower thought, which are meant to be kinda flawed and reductive, but it’s just such a reckless dismissal of everything we’ve accomplished as a species.

    I think Hank Green says it best: https://youtu.be/FcbtkVTAyqM

    Edit: On Lemmy, if you just link to a video people will say “Can’t you provide a tl;dw?” but it you do provide a tl;dw, they’ll respond with stuff that’s covered in the video.

      Why is it doomerism??

      It’s just a definition (one that we created), and if you think we don’t for the criteria, you’re letting your feelings make you look ignorant

      Just because we’ve done some pretty cool things, it doesn’t dismiss the really bad things we’ve done. That’s just as a reductive argument as we’ve done some bad things so that dismisses the good things…

      By the same definition that we label other animals, humans are an invasive species.
