Word: extinctionist Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From extinction + -ist. 1. An advocate of extinctionism. Example: As to whether animals that cannot be domesticated are worth preserving is a question I will not discuss here.

Example: If we are to regain a sensitivity to the reality of non-sensory facts, including that of life after death; if we wish to escape some of the problems of dualism while affirming many of dualism’s strengths; if we want to affirm the benefits of a naturalistic view of the origin of mind from matter without rejecting the activity of God in the world or the reality of religious and paranormal phenomena; then Griffin’s model is a strong candidate to plausibly meet these needs. It is the merit of his interpretation of process thought that it rises above the extinctionist interpretation and considers the data of religious life in a non-reductionist manner. 2. A player who plays a roguelike game with the additional challenge of killing all creatures to extinction. Example: What an Extinctionist tries to do is completely eliminate as many kinds of monsters from the game as possible, either through genocide if it's available, or from just depleting all the kinds of monsters that can be produced.
