Or, alternatively, we realize that the best use of our time and the best organizing drive is something that extends beyond us into the far future. A great example would be adopting the principle that sapience and sentience should survive the heat death of the universe.

You cannot survive heat death of the universe, if you did then the universe hasn’t really died.
You get me.
We may solve it for Humans. Earth will continue living without us.
