The world does not need your saving. Get over your sense of human self-importance. Get over the idea that extinction isn’t natural. It is natural. We are natural super-predators and it is our purpose to to hunt and kill other creatures. 98% of every life form that has ever been on this planet has become extinct, even before we arrived.

We are unimportant, so is the whale in the ocean, and the sea turtle, and the great bald eagle. They are just species waiting for the natural end, and that end is extinction. It will come with or without us.

Death is normal. Creatures attacking and eating other creatures is natural. This is life. This is nature. And as part of nature this is also what we do.

We are natural too. It doesn’t matter if we’re the cause for extinction or not, because all species meet extinction at some point or another. It is normal and natural for species to become extinct.

The world doesn’t need saving, because the world will continue without you, without whales, without any of what is now. All that is now will fade away. All that is now will move on into non-existence. It is normal. It is natural for what is to pass away, to give way to what comes after.

It does not matter if humanity becomes extinct. We are also a natural creature and that is an end we must face. If the current world passes away, there is no problem.

People cause extinction, like any dominant animal in an ecosystem it will cause a hardship on the other creatures. This is normal and natural. We are natural creatures and eating and killing other creatures is natural behavior for human beings.

Stasis is not natural. The world changes. Life forms and species pass away and new species are born from what is left behind. The survival of any species currently on this planet (including the human species) is not of paramount importance. The ecosystem will recover. It will change into something new, with life forms that have never existed before.

Species die out and it is normal and natural. When they die out from us (a natural creature just like any other creature) it is also normal and natural. When we meet our own extinction it will be normal and natural.

Life on this planet does not need us and will continue despite what we do to the current set of plants and animals.. The worst we can do is end what is, but that does not end the future of life on this planet. Life has survived ice ages, meteors, volcanic ash laden skies, and more. This world will survive us. The individual species that exist now do not matter. Their fate, our fate, it is of no consequence. The world will simply change and grow. Old will pass away and new will thrive. Weak will become extinct and strong will evolve.

Humanity is a natural creature.

Extinction is natural.

Extinction caused by a natural creature (such as humanity) is natural, normal, and okay.

The extinction of the human species (or any species) is of no great importance in the world.

The continuation of the human species (or any species) is of no great importance either.

The current ecosystem will simply be replaced by a new one. The whales, or eagles, or any other species may not be a part of it. We may not be a part of it. That does not matter. Change is normal. Extinction is part of that natural change. We are part of the natural order. That which we do is natural.

Species dying out is normal, natural, and okay. It is the way things have always been. It was this way before the human creature arrived, and will be this way long after we depart.

The mistake in common thinking, is the idea that humanity is somehow not a natural creature. The idea that humanity is somehow outside of nature. That is simply untrue. We are a natural product of the ecosystem. We are a natural result of what came before. What we do is part of nature.

Species eat and decimate other species. It is in fact natural for one species to obliterate other species. Why are there so few who realize this? The reason would be the mass media propagation of the idea that ecological stasis is the norm. In fact, ecological stasis is neither normal or natural. Ecological change, disaster, and rebirth are normal.

It does not matter if humans are the cause or a meteor or some other creature. Extinction is normal and natural. Human beings are a natural creature leading to the natural extinction of other creatures. We are not outside of the ecosystem. We are part of the ecosystem. Nothing that we do is unnatural. Everything that we do is a natural extension of the ecological system. If we’re causing an extinction or many extinctions that is only a normal and natural progression of life and evolution. We are not above nature, and what we do is a part of the natural cycle.

It is completely and totally okay in the grand and massive scheme of life on this planet for creatures to become extinct. Yes, it is even okay for a natural creature, like humans, to cause the extinction of other creatures. It is the norm. It is the way it has always been. It doesn’t matter if it’s us or something else. Everything meets extinction eventually.

Let me say this one more time:

Extinction is natural.

Humanity is natural.

Humanity is a natural cause of natural extinction.

It is okay for things to die and species to end.

It is even okay for the human species to end.
