The new marketing slogan for humans should be, "Killing the biosphere many species at a time."
How long until all that's left is humans, cockroaches, tardigrades, and plankton? I don't think we even know what a minimal biosphere that can support human life would have to include, but I fear that we'll find out the hard way. Maybe the Fermi.Paradox isn't actually so paradoxical.
