I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

What about ticks?

I'm sure they somehow contribute to the stability, but I try so hard to ignore it.

We've successfully extinctified hundreds of species through our very excellent human-centric activities. I've yet to see any environmental fallout from it. Where are the secondary and tertiary extinctions of the animals that depended on the first lot we rubbed out? Where are the corpses left in the wake of the dodo's disappearance? Big Environmental Science™ won't tell you, because they can't. They're shills and liars, all of 'em. Rich elites who make bank on selling textbooks at a 1,200% markup.

Who's up for starting a truthseeker podcast with me?

The sun has a purpose, and it can easily kill you. Merely having a purpose doesn’t make that purpose useful or without dangers.

If humans went extinct the planet would find balance.

When the COVID shutdown happened nature started returning to industrialized and commerce stained areas in a matter of weeks.

We are the only species out of the ecologic system, we need the nature, but the nature don't need us.

Until we are forced to replace them with technological bandaids and hope the ecosystem keeps churning. Like we've been doing for a couple centuries atleast.

...and if humans went extinct all species would benefit.

except dogs or animals that rely on humans

Some plants would go extinct?

I feel like that's a sacrifice I might be willing to make.

Majority of the wasp species did not bother human nor want to be close to human. It's human that want them dead while entering their territory.

Those bitches fly into my house, that's their territory? Where's my territory? Ethiopia?

Few species being especially bad tempered and highly territorial and tend to build a huge nest and you want the whole species all extinct? Who are you? 18th century British?

I probably don't care about those plants or anything they depend on.

At least not enough to think mosquitoes are worth it.

I couldn't give less of a fuck about roaches, they ain't bother me, I ain't bother them. But mosquitoes? Purpose of no purpose, fuck them right to hell.
