    It’s like the earth is a living entity trying to kill of the virus infecting it. We as humans don’t really think about it, but earth will win, it’s just a matter of time. No matter how bad we fuck up the earth, it’ll heal after we die off.

      Or it won’t heal and just be another barren rock like the others in this system. And even then, the planet still won’t care.

        Nah. Humans aren’t remotely that powerful. We could detonate every nuke on the planet tomorrow and make human life impossible, but in 1000 years the conditions for life would be fine, just the large animals would be extinct. In 1 million years you wouldn’t even know it had happened u less you dug I to the geological record. And 1 million years is like the blink of an eye on the timescale of a planet.
