I actually don't care what happens in a thousand years and beyond that. I'm fine with humanity going extinct. This obsession with getting to Mars for the sake of surviving the collapse on our planet is beyond me. I find those ambitions rather cheesy.
But humans thousands of years ago made decisions that make our lives today possible. Aren’t you glad that you had the chance to exist and enjoy your own life?
I highly recommend Ian McCaskill‘s recent book “ what we owe the future.” He makes a compelling rational argument that it makes no less sense to discount future generations than it does to discount physically distant people who are suffering today.
> in your nihilistic worldview where humanity going extinct is no big deal, what drives you to do your every day things?
Having a nihilistic worldview doesn't mean that a person doesn't have the same drives, emotions, desires, etc. as other people. It's not a contradiction to both enjoy being happy and be a nihilist.
> If [something impossible], would you ...?
The answer to questions like this is always "maybe." If the impossible is possible, who knows what other considerations there are?
