it never ceases to amaze me how stupid we all are as a civilization.

we're opting out of it, but nature will continue. this will be a very curious and fairly hospitable world full of interesting xenoarcheological mysteries... in the distant future, to a visiting spacefaring civilization.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, planet gonna planet. It give zero fucks about us and will happily continue spinning long after we are gone. If civilizations get purged along the way makes no difference. Kinda makes the "evil villain" from Kingsman: The Secret Service right that we are the virus.

"The end of the world" (I can't believe I have to explain this) is a euphemism for humanity being wiped out or at the very least the end of the planet being habitable
