We’re going to be the first species to go extinct due to stupidity.

Because we act global. The mechanism isn't new at all, though. We as a species are just as stupid as yeast: Watch a slice of bread mould. It starts with a tiny dot, within a day or two the whole slice is green and the bread already unrecognisable, after a couple of days the yeast will die because there isn't any bread any more.
