We might not be there yet but we are going to be the first species in the history of the planet capable of protecting the biosphere from the inevitable assault from the cosmos.
Everyone that talks about how horrific a cancer the human race is on the planet is a hypocrite because they are still alive themselves. If they really meant it they would take action by ending their own lives. They don't because what they really mean is everyone else is a cancer on the planet except for them. It's a selfish and narcissistic attitude.
The cognitive dissonance they feel turns into downvotes rather than deeper thoughts on why they aren't an integral part of the "problem" they complain about.
