Should We Go Extinct?: A Philosophical Dilemma for Our Unbearable Times By Todd May
In his thought-provoking book, “Should We Go Extinct?: A Philosophical Dilemma for Our Unbearable Times,” philosopher Todd May grapples with a question that is both deeply unsettling and strangely compelling: given the immense suffering we inflict upon ourselves and the planet, would it be better if humanity simply ceased to exist?
May doesn’t shy away from the darkness that prompts this question. He confronts the reader with the stark realities of climate change, widespread poverty, animal agriculture’s brutal efficiency, and the ever-present threat of nuclear war. He argues that these horrors, largely self-inflicted, are not mere anomalies but rather symptomatic of a deeper flaw within our species.
However, “Should We Go Extinct?” is not a nihilistic call for self-destruction. Instead, May uses the provocative question as a springboard to explore the ethical weight of human existence. He carefully dissects the potential arguments for and against extinction, urging readers to confront the uncomfortable possibility that our continued existence might actually be morally problematic.
May challenges the anthropocentric worldview that places humanity at the pinnacle of value. He questions whether our achievements, however grand, justify the suffering we cause. He probes the moral implications of bringing children into a world teetering on the brink of collapse. And he invites us to consider the perspective of other species, whose lives we carelessly disregard in our pursuit of progress and pleasure.
The book is a masterclass in philosophical inquiry, carefully dissecting complex ethical dilemmas with clarity and nuance. May doesn’t offer easy answers or prescribe a predetermined course of action. Instead, he empowers readers to engage in the difficult work of ethical deliberation, urging us to move beyond self-serving justifications and confront the uncomfortable truths of our existence.
While the book grapples with weighty issues, May’s writing remains accessible and engaging. He weaves together philosophical arguments with personal anecdotes, historical examples, and even a touch of dark humor, making the exploration of this profound question both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
“Should We Go Extinct?” is not for the faint of heart. It is a book that will challenge your assumptions, stir your conscience, and perhaps even keep you up at night. But it is also a book that can inspire profound self-reflection and ignite a sense of urgency for creating a more just and sustainable future. Ultimately, May leaves us with a question that lingers long after the final page: If we choose to continue existing, how can we do so in a way that minimizes suffering and honors the interconnectedness of all life?
