Re: 99% of species are extinct

Ya, very complicated. Knowing what satisfies me though, and what things I consider desirable and undesirable, is pretty simple. And since we are a natural result of our eco system, would you agree that the things that tend to be desirable to us will tend to be best for the "system" as a whole?

To the extent that the system itself has no 'preference' I will agree with you.
But we're heading down murky waters if we accept the entire premise - which will ultimately end up at extreme social darwinism and the conclusion that there are no ethics, no rights, no nothing except for the rule of the strongest.
