Would human extinction be a tragedy?

If humans were to be wiped out and became extinct overnight, would the end of the human race be a tragedy? Or would it be a cause for celebration, the end of a malignant tumour in our ecosystem? Maybe it would be neither?

No, it would not be a tragedy

The world would be better off without us

We’re a virus with shoes

Antinatalism

It is irrelevant, it would mean nothing

With no humans left, it would have no meaning.

There are no humans left to give it meaning

Yes, it would be a tragedy

The loss of humans from this earth would be tragic

We bring something to this planet that no other species does

Without humans, many other animals would go extinct

Human technological & scientific progress has so much potential

It depends on the nature of the extinction

The method by which be became extinct would impact how tragic the extinction was

Two different scenarios
