Will Humanity become extinct?!

Question from the Internet:

“Would the extinction of humanity improve the world, and would it still be a tragedy?”

Nature is an “almost perfect” system, existing through finely balanced, mutual integration, strict laws sustaining the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

In this system humanity is at present acting like cancer, destroying everything in its path. We could see during the very first, almost global quarantine of the pandemic how Nature immediately started repairing, replenishing itself. We can see how fast Nature recovers even from such disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima while humans stay away.

Thus the extinction of humanity would improve the world — but at the same time, it would be a tragedy.

Nature is almost perfect, as it is still missing a truly conscious element, a truly conscious, objective observer, partner.

Our unique, predetermined, evolutionary Human role, purpose is to become that observer, partner in the Natural system.

This is why evolution initially created us “unfinished”, with this destructive, and self-destructive internal software, so we could consciously, proactively, purposefully take our development into our own hands and reach similarity, compatibility with Nature by our own efforts — against and above our inherent tendencies, behavior.

This is what will give us the unique ability to become Nature’s only conscious, seamlessly integrated but still independent observers and partners.

And since us becoming this crucially important part of the system is “written” into evolution’s plan, we will get there regardless of what we do.

But we can get there blindly, pushed, beaten by suffering, only a small human population reaching that “happy ending, or we can reach it consciously, proactively, we ourselves changing ourselves by learning from Nature what it expects from us.
