I found that statement kinda' interesting.
What do you consider "sustainable"?
100 years?
1,000?
100,000 years; is that "sustainable?
Humans have been around for a while. Would you consider the length of time that humans have been on this planet represents a period of time which would line up with "sustainable"? How much longer do we need to be here to satisfy the requirements of "sustainable"?
What
are those requirements, anyway?
The problem with your point is that "sustainable" is both vague and immeasurable.
Oh, and by the way, you can bet your last dollar that, if there
is other life out there, they think they're the center of the universe, too...
