I’m kinda thankful that even if we kill ourselves off and most life on Earth, it’s almost certain that life will come back in full eventually.
We’d have to do some real Earth -shattering stuff to prevent that.
I argue this point all the time and no one ever likes it. In order to eternally prevent as much suffering as possible, we need to cause a vacuum decay event. Otherwise something is always going to evolve to take humans place and then we’re in the same shitty boat.
Edit: just realised you were saying that was bad, oof
That’s nice because it is always hard to find motivation for fundamental sciences. Stopping all suffering for good is so honorable! Particle physisics should include it in grant proposals.

TIL about vacuum decay. Thanks for sending me on that wiki trip.
