The list of resources we are running out of should include resiliant ecosystems. Apart from that, to me, the entire comment could be summarized as “capitalism”.

androcentric thinking in a nutshell I guess
I would argue that the problem you are pointing out is cultural rather than biological. Humans are very well capable of living sustainably and respectfully and have done so for extended periods of times in different regions of the world. The endless consumtion of an ending earth seems like something that developed together with (e.g. western, capitalist, …) culture and ideology.
We need to work on changing our collective mindset rather than attempt our own disappearance. Second part of argument: I believe we can. Humans are very capable to adapt and change. Not sure about collectives, but if you think you can convice a critical number of people to stop reproducing, I think you can do the same in convincing us to please fix our shit.

I have a Quechua bottle that looks slightly yellowish/golden on the inside. Might that be some sort of lining?

I’m a little worried now.
I do not behave the way I was two years ago, nor do other people, both in private and in public (Where I live, seeing someone wear a facemask has become the exception. Big concerts have been taken place for a while, etc.). Because of that (together with the subject not coming up a lot in news and conversation anymore, masks and rapid tests going on sale, … ), I had come to the conclusion that the situation had generally relaxed. Am I wrong? At the beginning of this, I was anxious another major outbreak would be imminent, but nothing horrible seemed to happen, so I sort of lowered my guard. (Took a test when I had a sore throat or before meeting certain people, sometimes wore a mask when on particularly crowded trains, but otherwise started to live more or less like ‘before’.) Is Covid still a big deal and I sort of missed it?
Is it though? I was under the impression that, while still not harmless, the mutations we have been dealing with for the last couple of months lead to generally milder symptoms and do not put a comparable strain on health care etc. I do understand that this doesn’t fix anything for especially endangered people.
This would have been my intuitive take as well, but I do see how it’s not exactly best practice.
Ancient humans would understand this and I think that’s cool.
