People forget how much time is available. The likelihood that any kind of major ecological event will occur during your brief blip in this world is infinitesimally remote. So it really boils down to a conflict between nihilism and humanism. How much do you pretend to care about future generations, and how much of that care is governed by a self absorbed desire to win an internet argument? It's the modern philosophy and it's interesting. When people get banned from twitter or youtube or even this forum, that progress is quashed. Everyone says hitler is bad while acting just like him, it's quite disturbing.
