Doesn't matter.....we're a geological blip in time.
Some of us would prefer to be more than that. I strive for the stars and would very much prefer to continue existing long enough to get there.
According to human history, chances of that happening is probably close to nil as Star Trek-y it sounds.

Mkay, well you can live your life content with that. I refuse.
You can dream but you'd be dead before even find out a way to colonize Mars. Not exactly the stars. But if they ever do get to Mars and colonize the probability of that happening would probably be a bit higher than nil.
I'm a transhumanist. I'm working on putting into place plans to have a standby team ready to put me into cryonics on the off chance that I start to die before regenerative medicine is working well.
Be sure to look both ways before crossing a street.
I do.
I'm also holding out for quantum immortality, but I certainly don't believe that nearly enough to try testing it or anything like that.
(The concept is basically that since everytime a quantum particle could "collapse" the universe or a section thereof "splits", then the "you" who exists has numerous times in "your" past actually died, but they were in split versions of the universe, but your current consciousness has persisted in this form simply because there still exists a possibility that you can be alive. Essentially this means that for everyone who dies, there exists a split universe where their consciousness actually did continue to exist, and essentially everyone personally experiences living the absolute longest their life is possible to live.)
Sounds like Schrödinger's cat.
I think we saw a preview of that in the movie "I, Robot."Hang on 35 more years for the Singularity.
