Those aren’t mutually exclusive, though. Even if 99.9% of a species fits in perfectly with the environment, if that last little sliver destroys everything, and the rest of the species is unable and/or unwilling to stop them, then we destroy everything anyway. Sure, it may not be ALL humans, but it’s still humans.

Whether or not people care enough to do something is the first and most important factor in determining whether it works or not.

I always thought I was too ugly for people to be attracted to me. Eventually I cleaned myself up a bit, got on a dating app, and found the woman who is now my wife. I was proud of myself for becoming someone who could be attractive. Since then, 2 girls I knew in school have told me they had a crush on me… Like, why didn’t you say anything!? It was obvious I had no idea!! I now think everyone must have at least one person who’s yummed by their yuk.

I find that the tired part is easier to swallow if you instead think of it an a happy opportunity to put on some music and rest your eyes.
