We're smaller than the Earth, are very specialized in our lives having forced nature to adapt to us instead of the other way around, and reproduce to the point that we're not facing a serious population problem.

"Parasites reduce host fitness in many ways, ranging from general or specialized pathology (such as castration), impairment of secondary sex characteristics, to the modification of host behaviour. Parasites increase their fitness by exploiting hosts for food, habitat and dispersal."
We have modified the Earth's 'behaviour' (global warming - climate is acting differently than it should), we abuse resources regularly.

The quotes are from Wikipedia.

You take us off the Earth, nothing harmful happens. In fact, it would be the opposite. Plantation would take over (like in Chernobyl) once our technology stops running without our aid and eventually wildlife would bloom as well. The climate would return to normal, resources would replenish, etc.


I find the depth of human experience and understanding of the world to be a good thing.


Imagine the beauty of the world and it's awe, if all human's were gone suddenly.

But then who is left to experience and reflect on this beauty?

Noone, and what good is beauty and wonder if none can experience it.
