Or is there going to be a point where we're not even going to realize it and we're going to become the domesticate?
And I think that that's actually important, because this might be something that we want for ethical reasons to battle.
But I think at the end of the day, I personally – and this is kind of the macroevolutionist in me.
One of the reasons I love macroevolution and got into it as someone – I came from a background in law and ethics and stuff like that.
But I really loved macroevolution because it's kind of amoral.
Meaning, like, it doesn't say anything.
It doesn't care.
It just is, but that's beautiful.
And it helps us transcend ourselves and transcend our problems.
And I think there's something wonderful about that.
And I think from a macroevolutionary perspective, you know,
If there's any inference you're gonna make from induction, it's that every species' time is limited.
And I don't think that there's, I'm not sure that there's an ethical imperative for existence at any cost or in any form.
And so, like, I mean, I guess this is kind of, like, more – this gets into a more sort of emotional Buddhist type of thing going on in me, which is, like, I'm okay with disappearing.

And it's just so deeply sad, not just because of like just sheer pain, suffering, destruction, but like there's an entire vibrant and modern world
which we don't normally think of that way, but I recommend all the listeners out there to watch David Attenborough's Prehistoric Planet to see what we think these ecosystems and these animals look like now.
And, oh, is it vibrant and colorful and smart.
social and like all of this and you know if you saw that that asteroid coming you say this is this is the apocalypse but then of course like well what what came out of that is it something better than what was before is it better simply because there's maybe there's a highly self-conscious
