Weird how characters in science fiction often go on about "the species". I care about "the species" about as much as I care about the charge on an electron or the melting point of caesium. It's *people* I care about - or not, as the case may be.

@dpiponi Same reason I find it weird when people focus so much on extinction risk. "(M|B)illions of people getting killed risk" seems more practically relevant.
