What's so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person's perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying "this is fine"
Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.
Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it's exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.
Or..
That's nasty and almost outrageous. Meat shouldn't be overcooked!
True, but neither regular pork nor long pork should be undercooked either. That's how you get trichinosis..
Humans won't go extinct easily, for how many things we lived through and how many conditions we coped with, I don't think nither climate change nor a third world war is enough for our extinction. LEMMiNO has an amazing video on this I recommend checking it out to see what I mean. Also u ok bro?

Yay? We have the ability to survive and the ability to prevent extinction. Honestly, I'm so jaded that I kinda wish we would engineer our current iteration of our species to extinction.
Sounds like you could benefit from talking with a professional about that. Being so jaded that you wish all humans would die is not a healthy attitude to live with. Happiness is possible.
No. I suggest we transition beyond our current state of humanity with various means.
In plain speak, what do you mean? What specifically are you suggesting as an action?
Occult tings
Ok, ecofascist.
Wrong interpretation. That's okay. What I meant is some sort of artificial evolution.
Well I'm enjoying life, and I daresay even in hundreds of years from now there will be people who enjoy theirs too
To live is to suffer. Study. You're almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.
I agree. I'm actually hoping for human extinction. We're a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.
I don't understand how anyone can say a statement as heartless as "humans are cancer", but I shouldn't be surprised because it's within our nature to oversimplify, categorize, and put good and evil label on things. But the truth is that you can't put a label on humans because we are too diverse for that. For as cruel and heartless humans can be, we can also be kind and forgiving. There are millions who dedicated their lives in helping others, and millions of forest rangers defending what you label as good. You know that life has existed on earth for 3 billion years, so what good did it do exactly? Creatures born and died one after the other and what good did they ever do? Also life wasn't always stable on earth, there where 5 mass extincttions, and 5 ice ages long before we industrialized. It's been a few hundred years at most since we've been a "cancer" to earth. If humans where gone things will continue as normal, stars shine until they fade without anyone to gaze at their beauty. Universe will turn dark without anything happening. I don't think things will stay like this. Humans where hunter gatherers for ~288000 years but we grew out of it and learned to do better. I think the same will be true for war and injustice. We will grow out of these childish actions one day.
