Pointless reply, not all suffering has the same cause of course, but most of the unnecessary suffering (i.e. that suffering of all sentient beings on top that which occurs due to the nature of life itself) is caused by human activity, specifically where selfish individuals have felt entitled to cause suffering in others, destroy ecosystems, extinct species, and oppress peoples in pursuit of their goals.

The world is not ours to consume.

AI is the greatest accelerant of our species demise.

If I was given the choice by a genie, on the one side you have your laptop, Lemmy, car, etc, but millions of people an animals suffer, or on the other hand, our tech evolves more slowly and sustainably, I'd choose the latter every time.

I'll take being 30 years behind and still have <insert any species we've driven extinct>. An entitlement to the lives and well being of others for the sake of "progress" is pretty sick.
