I think this is quite obviously a Yes And situation.
We've broken the game so many damn times, humans are awesome and we need to keep being awesome.
Somebodies gotta prevent an asteroid from killing the earth over these next 100 years.
It ain't gonna be the dolphins.
Speaking of which, we really need to ask the dolphins if they'd like some thumbs.
Interestingly, although giant asteroids have certainly been responsible for some of the mass extinctions we see in the fossil record, apparently super volcanoes are also right up there. And I don't think there is a damn thing we can do about them
If it involves eggs, I think we'll be fine, by the sheer number of them.
That's if we don't extinct ourselves (and the dolphins) first.
