To clarify, this is your expected outcome for the nice version of human extinction, the one that you are zen about, and you are surprised people ask you to explain this position. Do you feel that's an accurate summary?
No I don't, I think the most important part of that experiment that's worth highlighting, being relevant to where we're at right now, is the narcissism and hyper***ual activity, followed by a***uality," bit.
With that in mind, perhaps we're already drawing towards the conclusion of this experiment and the most unpleasant parts are already behind us, if we can avoid the blinding light / melting skin / lethal radiation dose scenario.

Practically all creatures that have ever been have met their end in suffering. That's life and the physical world. Most either starve, succumb to sickness or are picked off by predators. We don't live in a Cbeebies world where everything is nice and cuddly.
