Our "finite ecosystem" is virtually irrelevant, not to mention false,

everyone.

and then apparently wrote this:

There is a very simple and clear reason for being optimistic about the
future. Throughout the history of mankind we have continuously been coming
up with new ideas to better the well being of mankind. There are less
innocent people being killed, tortured, abused, starved, etc, etc than
ever before thanks to better morality and better technology than ever
before. This improvement has continued through all of recorded history and
shows no sign of stopping now.

Perhaps you should ask yourself what condition makes you blind to this?
