He gave me the detachment to understand that we can destroy this planet and we would just be gone, gone, and time would go on. We would be a cosmic fart and then we would be gone, like the doe doe bird. And there would be nothing special about it, see? Just another failed species. It scares me to think of us that way, without of crutch of religion or the notion that anyone would be crying for us once we were gone. No interventions, just what we do right now.
