I can't prove you wrong.
Every era of humankind that we know of in recorded history had struggles. Those aren't new. Even your average impoverished person in a lot of industrialized nations has a much better life than people did before any running water or electricity.
Things seem so dire now because of climate change AI, nukes, and a population explosion globally. The world hit 8 billion people around 15 November 2022. And it's already added about 300 million more people to that. For comparison, there weren't 6 billion people until I was 3 years old in 1999 and there weren't even 3 billion people until 1960.
I don't think humans will destroy the planet itself, but we could destroy it for humanity to live on.
