I attempted to explain the basic intuitions behind my judgement in this thread. Unfortunately it seems I did a poor job. For the full explanation you’ll have to wait until I write a post, if I ever get around to doing that.
The simple, short, and imprecise explanation is: I don’t really value humanity as a species as much as I value the people who currently exist, (something like) our current communities and relationships, our present values, and the existence of sentient and sapient life living positive experiences. Much of this will go away after 100 years.
