A book that I read for a climate change class a few years ago immediately came to mind when we were asked to post something relating to extinction. Reading The Sixth Extinction was one of the first times I really understood the gravity of the problems we're creating with resulting climate change and disrupted ecosystems. I thought I'd share one of the quptes that stood out to me that author Elizabeth Kolbert includes in the book: "In pushing other species to extinction humanity is busy sawing off the limb on which it perches." -Paul Ehrlich

If we do go extinct, will we have any warning? Will we have any control? Did the citizens of Alderaan have any agency, or was their fate out of their hands?

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the earth is demolished by aliens to build a hyperspatial express route through our star system. While the situation is slightly humorous, it reminded me of how quick we are to destroy anything in our path to get where we need to. Maybe getting killed as collateral (by AI perhaps) isn't so far-fetched after all.

When I watched Arrival and saw the big avocado like space ships, I thought a little about how that race might attempt to kill humans or just take over the planet because the look a little menacing.

We read this in Spanish class and it really led me to think about the increasing prevalence of machines.

Smog-shrouded buildings in Lianyungang, China. Makes me think about human extinction because while this type of planetary destruction is occurring, we are worrying about trivial issues. Image source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/10/chinese-media-silver-linings-smog-haze.

Hi folks,
tomorrow we'll be talking about how stories help us imagine the possibility of human extinction. To give us an archive of "source material" I'd like you to please post an image or (brief) text or film clip that you find productive or provocative for thinking about human extinction. I've gone first...
