That will become a problem when an asteroid or supervolcano or any other unpreventable disaster comes along and makes Earth uninhabitable. We're going to have to find a way to live off of Earth if we want to continue to exist.

The earth has been a long series of disaster movies. Massive extinctions after massive extinctions. Why do you think we as a species should be exempt? Are we that special?

We have the capability to possibly avoid an extinction. Do you argue we should refrain from exercising it? That we should put forward anything less than our best effort at survival? Why? What do we gain by giving up without trying?

You can't hate people for trying... to survive... That is literally what all life does.
