    Tbf, there are equilibrium events where one species whipes another and equilibrium is met. Granted the parasite can usually adapt quicker, and there’s so much more we can go down that rabbit hole…

    We ain’t the earth. She’s going to be just fine without us. Even if we nuke the planet, there are still deep sea thermal vent communities that will jump start evolution here by billions of years.

    There will also be another intelligent species. Let’s hope there are still some shipwrecks left that they can find some non-poisoned iron for their medical equipment.
