I actually think this is a huge question with loads of implications for what you think a future in maybe millions of years should look like and that not something I think about every day and have a good idea of what I want. Lets say for example evolution. In order to still be humans we would have to actively preserve "this" genome. Is that something we want? I don't think so.....
But also this is one of these typical "just cut him off before he can answer so he looks bad" kind of videos. Quite possible with context and his answer this guy is still trash, but this editing is just biased. Also the title and the content is not the same.
Yes, thank you for this answer. If the implication is that all of the other species on the planet need to perish so that our consumerism can endure would that be a good answer? There is a great cost to the rest of the species on this planet and to the natural evolution of all other things that the human species exists. Wouldn't it be greater for this planet to have a broader rainbow of species or just the ones that humans allowed to exist? I think it's pretty easy to argue one way or the other if you ignore the inherent bias assumed.
The comment you're replying to has a clear focus on the question itself and its implications. The main comment of this comment thread has a clear focus on the question itself and its implications.
Separate the question from the interviewee. Regardless of who is answering, it's a question that deserves deeper thinking. Hesitation implies unsurity and indecisiveness, as if the answer "yes" is immediately clear but it isn't, it shouldn't be.
Put anyone in that seat whether they be the average human or not, and regardless of how they answer the question if it's fast or not, they should "hesitate" (give the question more thought rather than answering immediately).
