humans

and who is 'us'? The human race? and whatever happened to the good guy wins scenario. There must be something worth salvaging?
I am sure there is as much good as bad. It's just that the good doesn't get as much coverage or recognition.I think people see what they want to see. That too is a mind frame just as dark as any other. Just as the Church looking for witches.

Human life isn't linear to me. It's cyclical. Even if the worst was to happen life would once again emerge and or human life would continue and learn from it's mistakes and progress into something better.

When have humans as a whole ever learned from our mistakes?

Humans will adapt and move on just so we can fuck it up again later.

For the good of all what?

for the good of all..... life, this planet, all the things we could destroy in time.

umm, i thought it was safe to assume that i am human, so yeah, us.
the good guy wins scenario would have us[the bad guy] erased, along with this cement jail cell we've built.

There must be something worth salvaging?

yes, this earth, and the non-human life thats on it.
the only way to salvage it, is to get rid of the species that destroys it.

as above, you wanna enlighten us pointing out some of the good humanity is doing for the rest of life that the media is not covering.
btw,i am the witch the church was seeking.

decreasing our population should be the number 1 focus for our species at this time, but again, how do you suggest we go about doing that?
china made the first step 30 years ago.
even if the rest of the world followed, it would be too late.
a nuclear bomb over india,[no offense, going by numbers'] would be a good start, but would still not be solving the problem.
aids helps, but we made the mistake of educating the people in how to avoid it.[we're not really learning here]
war has been our greatest blessing as it has kept us under 50 billion.
but still, its not enough, we'd have to be on world war 8 to keep up with our reproductive rate.
maybe a good virus would do the trick, inject a transmitable deadly virus into a large percentage of the world population, and we might actually be on to something....lets see how that works out for us.

Millions of types of critters have died out, and millions of new types came along to take their place. 3 or 4 times 90% of the life on Earth has been wiped out entirely... and came back. All this without our help. The Earth is constanly evolving.

Granted we have the power to steer that evolution some, but don't fool yourself, the Earth will survive long after we're gone, if it comes to that.

no doubt the earth will survive after we're gone.
the meantime is what we're looking at.
