Is there anything about that a colony of a virus which destroys it's habitat is inevitably ends up in self-instinction?
Right, we only extinguish species after species living on this planet along with us. Mass genocide of hundreds of billions of living beings. And why? Because there are only few humans that are comfortable with the idea that other species may be as important and capable as they are.
Stop making more humans, we really don't need more humans on this planet, in my opinion more humans are making things worse, not better. And if you need more humans for your pension (or other financial/workforce/... requirements), your system is flawed, and it will break when the planet can no-longer support your exponential system. And then you have 2 problem: the planet and your pension.
Humans aren't the only species destroying other animals' habitats for their own goals, but they're the most destructive one by a great margin. To make matters worse, humans possess the means and should have the common intelligence to find a better way. But instead of working together and saving the planet with all living creatures on it, humans are too busy fighting wars in an attempt at imposing domination on others.
