Humans are an invasive species

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'm not advocating for human extinction dude. it's just an observation about our behavior.

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.

It was a bold move to make the bad guys win in The Matrix
