One should understand human existence specifically in geologic timescale terms, and to maximize inner peace also understand existence generally in Buddhist/Spinozan terms
I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re slowly plasticizing & automating ourselves into our cyborg analogs. It would be an efficient way to ie go extinct from a material standpoint, but/and humans are so destructive, it’s hard not to see how the planet might benefit from this, as creepy as it is. As an alternative to other ways to go extinct like the trajectory we’re on with the planet’s temp or war, etc, it might also be a gentler way to be phased out. I’m not that ‘optimistic’ that we can refrain from our destructive tendencies long enough for that route, though.
I guess this is a good oportunity to ask: as philosophers, did you like The Good Place? Also Children of Men is one of my favorite movies of all time!
Yes, we did! :)

I.e. as Spinoza puts it, we are corporeal fantasy

Extinction is a nebulous term and should be avoided.
