I never understand why this always gets brought up. Yes, let's worry about the universe dying after a few billion years when people are currently dying at ~100 if they're lucky. Talk about scale mismatch.
- noonespecial 10y agoI think it's because existentially, it doesn't really matter if you live 80 years or until the final heat-death of the universe. When you get to the end, you'll still want to live longer and marvel at how fast it all went by. The miracle is that we existed at all, and that we recognized ourselves (or whatever consciousness is). Next to that, duration is insignificant. A scale mismatch.
