You are assuming that abilities potentially unique to humans make us, or our progeny, more likely to survive long-term than a randomly selected species. I don't think that is well supported. Also, why do you think that we have agency? That seems another unsupported assumption. I could see a general AI, if one is ever developed, being more likely to survive that long, given we even consider it alive to begin with. But a hominin descendant seems incredibly unlikely. I guess I don't see why you think contemplating long-term survival would be correlated with longer survival rates.
