There will come a time when all of us are dead, all of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything there will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you, everything that we did, built, wrote, or thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon or maybe its millions of years away…but even if we survive the collapse of our sun we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness and there will be time after and if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, you should ignore it. Because god knows that’s what everyone else does.
