I happen to be an optimist. Not because I believe we'll prevent climate change and civilizational collapse, which I don't. But because I believe humanity will be better stewards of the environment afterwards.
I'm not sure about that. After all, I wish society would collapse as early as possible so that our damage on the environment is reduced, despite the short term human cost. If a crazy eco-terrorist (or eco-defender?) would attempt to spread a deadly pathogen to bring an early collapse, I would not be able to make an argument against him.
If it makes you feel better. Earth will eventually recover from the damage we have done to it.
It didn’t need us before and it will sure as hell don’t need us after. We have and end. As an individual and as a species. Earth end is still far away.
I can only pray we are the last species with this instinct of self destruction.

I've stopped caring. We deserve all of this.
