Humans need to go extinct for the good of every non-human on the planet. We're never going to get a critical mass of people worldwide on the right page to continue increasing our population without wrecking everything.
Live long and die out.
I sympathize with this deeply, but we can't see defeatism as the path forward. Those last hopeless human conflicts won't be good for the non-humans on the planet today either - I dont see humanity going out quietly. We gotta keep trying, and maybe it'll be better in the next life, and for the new people, and maybe they'll be better than us for it.
