I happen to prefer that our species not go extinct. We spend a lot of effort on much less important things, we can afford to spend some here.

We spend a lot of effort on much less important things <-- someone (not me, but someone) might argue that's exactly why our species should go extinct ;-)

Following that logic, every single species on Earth should go extinct. As bad as we are, we are still the best. Simply because we have the most advanced brain.

What I don't understand.. the continuation of non-human life is an asterisk that is of no importance to us, right?

So it turns out there is something we can do about it, and someone wrote an article about that. It's pretty cool, you should read it.
