Signs of culture in whales and monkeys

4. I don't think it will make any difference at all to how events unfold

Certainly not the high-priority events ever the next two to three decades. As you're aware. those events all have to do with altering the biophysical qualities of the planet: climate change, extreme weather events, rising ocean acidity, fresh water depletion, declining agricultural soil fertility and shortages of various non-renewable resources. Our treatment of other species, even other sentient species, do not rate the faintest wiggle on the seismographs of culture.

IMO the die is now cast, for human and non-human species alike. As they say in Monte Carlo, "Les jeux sont faites, rien ne va plus."
