Hey, look at this New York Times headline with human extinction be a tragedy.

The op-ed's author Clemson University professor Todd May says that this very question is being

discussed in philosophical circles. He says it would not be bad if all humans were wiped out

because humanity is responsible for climate change, which is wiping out entire ecosystems.

He says humans engage in factory farming, which is bad, because it kills millions of animals.

Professor May says that humans, and that means you, you are the cause of devastation for

conscious animals on massive scale. You and your meat eating car driving habits make life miserable

for everything else that lives on this earth. So how could it be a tragedy if you all just died?

Not only won't it be a tragedy, it'll be a blessing, he says. So do it. Now all of you,

oh, I have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you too. Folks, these people are serious,

I've been trying to say for 25 years, they are serious, they are clinically insane, and they are

serious. You have to fight back against this stuff and laugh at it at the same time if you can.
