I don’t disagree, but also I can find hope in this too. Humans likely aren’t going anywhere, nor is the Earth. Us getting largely wiped out us a chance for a fresh start. We’d lose a lot, and there’d be a lot of suffering, but I personally can also find hope in a soft reset. Most of our information probably wouldn’t be lost, but we could come back and hopefully have an understanding of how we can impact the planet.

This volcano isn’t it though. It’s just going to hurt a lot of people, but it’s not big enough for any kind of reset of societal norms.
