Cmv: humankind needs to settle on a purpose for our existence. by default we seek comfort, but that's not enough (it's why we have a shallow culture).:
My vote is for PROMOTING COMPLEX SELF-ORGANIZING MATTER as our ultimate purpose. CSOM is a rarity in this universe and it needs our help. We could shoot rockets to mars loaded with millions of types of microbes in the hope that some would survive and spread. Then hit the oceanic moons.

As stupid as that plan may be, it's way better than shuffling along with no species-level goal (other than the core goal of survival). If we just measure ourselves by how efficiently we turn food into people, as nature wills, we'll miss our chance at grandeur. Humankind isn't going to be around forever. We need to do something really excellent before we go extinct.

Religions offer goals but they get so many simple things wrong that they can't be trusted. Their goofy ideas should be ignored.

Please share your ideas for what Humanity's Ultimate Goal should be.
