On the plus side, beyond comprehension probbaly doesn't mean beyond survivability.
After we're gone, perhaps the cockroaches will evolve a shining new civilization, and somehow eschew the formation of boy bands and 15,000 calorie burgers altogether.
(Or their equivalent. Because, you know, whatever cockroaches evolve into might have higher calorie requirements.)
I am personally entirely sanguine about the chances of us killing all life on the planet. It's just not going to happen. Previous mass-extinctions -- let alone natural climate change -- prove that conclusively.
I'm much *less* sanguine about us (or J Random Climate Change if that's the one you believe in) not killing all *humans* off, or at least making our existence much less comfortable.
Ah, yes, that suxxors. Though I was expecting the destruction of the middle east gigantic Buddha carvings. OK, so they weren't 11 000 years old. A thought occurs. A top ten things humanity has done that gets my goat list.
