Yeah, we’ve really done a fantastic job fucking the world up in the last century. It’s truly incredible that in the blink of an eye, we’ve managed to doom most of the life that exists on our planet.

And at this point finding a control group that isn’t contaminated is incredibly difficult if not impossible
