    Hardly. We conserve when we want to.

    The problem is that not everyone shares the same values, and so there are people who are willing to let some species go in exchange for a more comfortable lifestyle (with “more comfortable” in some cases meaning “not starving to death”). Values aren’t objective.

      Sorry, I was absolutely dehumanizing and generalizing us as a species. Individually, you’re absolutely right, but the people who need to make the tough decisions to save us all won’t make them and will selfishly take us all into the end with them. Differentiating the subjective opinions and values, at the end of the day, doesn’t really matter.
