Sorry. Didn&#x27;t realize at first you&#x27;re quoting George Carlin. I&#x27;m watching the video now. It&#x27;s the first time I hear about him. I see now that anthropomorphisation of planet is a part of humour.<p>Sadly, too many people think that way for serious - that the planet is important for itself, that this particular state it&#x27;s in (&quot;blue marble&quot;) is somehow meaningful for the planet itself, or valuable for reasons not related to having humans on it.
