What should we do?

Avenge the trees fallen by beavers...
Predators kill their prey too slowly to be humane...

Yep. We're actually a LOT better at this stuff.

Trees are replanted by seeds shat out from birds. Nature finds a way to balance itself out, as long as it maintains its endemic species. Or at least it did until Europeans started to present themselves to other lands, bringing rats and roaches along the trip.

A lot of roach species weren't originally from Europeans. They often got them from the native lands and then brought them to other places. For example, the "German" cockroach (B. germanica, that is) is either native to northeastern Africa or southeastern Asia.

You may be interested in voting for Apophis 2028.

Sure, his term might start in April rather than January, but rest assured that he will end all of our pathetic and miserable existence in this bacteria ridden rock.

But they still brought rats with them. Themselves too.

How did Europe go from centralized and sophistcated Rome to invasive Germanic savages pillaging the New World, I'll never know.

You can give up OP, but I won't. I'll keep doing what I can to make the world a better place.

Sure, I'll respond to that, sorry I missed it earlier. Under the Catholic ethos, the ultimate purpose of life is deification. God is love, and Satan, being in opposition to God, is entirely against this. God wants what is best for humanity; Satan wants the exact opposite. God gave us free will so that we may truly "be like him," should we choose to, but this means we still have the option of choosing otherwise. This is the central reason why I am a Libertarian, because if God gives people free will, who am I, or what is the government, to restrict it? The point is, if we choose to be like God, we shall become like God. This is our ultimate potential, this is why we were made, and this is the exact opposite of what Satan wants.

God also created rules, regulations and punishment so as to not abuse our free will, lest we disregard His Commandments and act like murderous primal savages, which is exactly what Satan wants.

If anything, Satan is the epitome of Libertarianism, as it technically forbids God to have any say over our own actions.

Thats an interesting viewpoint.

Also I am fairly certain that his intepretation of catholicism is a rather unorthodox one.

Imagine thinking Rome was any less barbaric than the Vikings, kek.

We should never give up as a species, instead we should endure and persevere. We mustn't give up, instead, we must fight the issues that life is causing us.

Indoor plumbing beats all.

I don't know what "giving up as a species" entails specifically, but all the options that I've seen proposed are pretty terrible.

Like it or not, most people want to stick around, and pushing the message "we're never going to get better so we should stop trying" in an era of massively declining poverty, disease, malnutrition, illiteracy, and countless other quality-of-life hindrances will not go over well with Earth's population.

[Flaxxony]

This is such a silly question. Of course not.

But do I think we will destroy our own species due to the Pandora's box of bioengineered viruses and climate change? Almost certainly.

The only reason nukes haven't accomplished that feat yet is because it's easy to seek and destroy terrorists trying to make nukes. Even North Korea doesn't want to destroy itself.
