I was listening to that old song called Dust in the Wind by Kansas and there’s that line that goes nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky, and I thought, those lucky bastards thinking that the Earth and sky would last forever, what a comfort that would be. I can deal with the natural inevitability of death, but knowing that the Earth will die because we’re killing it really fucks me up.
You might want to read the old book Earth Abides. Sure, humans may screw things up, but just like the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, the planet will be just fine.

The Earth will be fine. Humans, not so much.
