| In my opinion, the humans are not becoming worthless. We are needing to take on more responsibility with the advances in society, so there are inevitably more opportunities "do wrong".
Think of the world on a smaller scale. A couple has only one child. Are they contributing to the well-being of that child? Yes. Do they have more worth just because they can contribute more fully of themselves than the couple with 4 children? no.
The point being that when there were fewer people, the contributions were not better than our contribution millions of people later. |
