This is a great illustration of the problem (biosphere collapse). Not optimal, but better than the usual ones.
Definitely not optimal with what seems to be the domestic cow as one of the cards at the top.
? It’s demonstrating the support of the staple foods being based on other species.
Beef is not a staple food, it’s a luxury and it’s destroying the climate.
Why care if humans go extinct?
Even though things seem shitty now. I think that, on average, humanity’s story is one of self-improvement. This Good Place quote comes to mind:
What matters isn’t if people are good or bad. What matters is if they are trying to be better today than they were yesterday.
I think humanity is trying to be better today than it was yesterday. Human history is a story of more and more types of people being given more and more rights. Of slowly putting down our rocks and spears and guns and trying to live together. Of learning to care for nature while holding the power to destroy it. We’ve had backslides, but overall we’ve come a long way from the Apes we once were.
I think humanity deserves the chance to keep trying to better itself. I hope we get to the point where we are good enough to give ourselves that chance. As another scene from Good Place put it:
Come on dummy, faster.
