>>10885394>>10885519Only decent argument so far.
It is entirely possible, yes, that a life-giving region leads to lackadaisical perspectives that deplete and crash the biome. The rate of macroscopic biosphere collapse will lessen with each layer of life, and that fact that we're at mammals means we can start to measure the biocomplexity that results from a major extinction event. Since we have multiple of those in our past, there's a decent probability that we're the freaks that will last long enough to get there.
The pic, simply put, is wrong because it considers all forms of life to be stopped by one great filter. There are numerous filters for numerous types of life. Each species that reaches a new evolutionary rung will likely deplete its surroundings and cause a new type of collapse, and for us that's electricity.
Looking forward to what the microbes do when the magnetosphere is gone.
