Bold claim withno real backing. This mass extinction might be the great filter. Seeing people dismiss it so flippantly and arrogantly is astounding .
It can't be any other way. Each generation is composed of optimists & so optimism is hereditary.
Plus... the optimists have been correct... at least, in every generation previous to ours.
Go read about the Black Death.
And the great bottleneck 900kya.
I think we should make a distinction between optimism and blind fools. One is at least trying to find a silver lining. The other is just ignorance and arrogance .
That's a good point but I often can't tell the difference.
