You are predicting the destruction of the human species and you say
your prediction is based on a previous track record in history. Can
you point out when in history the destruction of the human species has
occurred before?

A civilization is not a species. Every civilization has been an
invention of the same human species. You have no evidence at all of
any prior destruction of the human species. You just want to believe
it because people don't all do what you think is the right thing to
do. You're like a spoiled child who threatens to take his ball and go
home, except that it isn't your ball.

Or at least so you dearly want to believe.

Your personal lack of a capacity to survive without supermarkets,
credit cards, and social welfare programs isn't evidence that nobody
can. Not everyone is a feckless parasite like you.

Not.

I understand why you put "any" in quotations. Because there have
indeed been lots of events in our planetary history that resulted in
greater loss of species but you have chosen to ignore them in order to
coddle your malicious wishful thinking.

I don't expect any rationality from you on this. It's very clear that
you're so angry with life that you sincerely want to die and to take
everybody else with you. You're every bit as far off your rocker as
some clown who opens fire in a mall, but are too cowardly to do it.
Rational thought isn't going to penetrate that much psychological
disease.

As I said, rational thought doesn't penetrate that much psychological
disease.

Did anyone really expect anything else?
