“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Mass Extinction Implies Humans Too

See? The converse is also true according to the biologists and chemistry type people I've talked with. In other words, humans going extinct = pretty much the rest too, since we are so entangled with them. The whole “world without us” thing is a dangerous fantasy that has nothing to do with actual speculative realism.

The Restoration Agriculture of Mark Shepard shows how we can leave a very lovely "world without us" that has everything to do with SR and also everything to do with real specifications...of design, that is.
