This is a bad outlook. Humanity probably won't go extinct, but billions of people will die prematurely. Worrying about our "species" misses the point. We should worry about all the humans who will die instead. I don't worry about "extinction," but I worry about mass suffering and death. That's far more terrifying and far more motivating for me.
