At the end of the day, we like all other species have our root loop as self preservation and procreation.

In our modern society, money is inherently tied to survival as it can be traded with resources that helps further the root loop.

We humans, and every other living thing are a competing distributed system because of a limited resource environment.

So if you light up Amazon, Congo and Daintree rainforests to get a massive economic boost. Go for it!

However the question is how much you care about your great great grandchildren? Because they’ll be getting a very shit deal.

If we had another backup planet, I’d be all down for setting shit on fire.

Earth is all we got in the entire 100B light year observable universe as far as we know.

If all of Amazon is lit on fire, that likely explains why we can’t find any intelligent anywhere.
