I found this essay about differing viewpoints on where Homo sapiens is headed to be very interesting.

I can understand your point given the state of things, but I think the point always deserves a caveat, which is that the parasitism and destruction isn't equally distributed. The majority of people on earth consume at a relatively sustainable rate, and there's no reason they deserve to be wiped out. Unfortunately they're increasingly forced to rely on the destructive minority for their basic needs.
