Life will go on in other parts of the universe, and all life, no matter where they locate themselves, will have some kind of existential threat.
And it doesn't matter how many Dyson spheres are made, if humans aren't dedicated to improving the collective opportunity to live life without suffering, there's little real 'significance' to extending the project of humanity compared to any other life-form.

- bbojan 6y agoHow do you know there is life in other parts of the universe? Do you at least consider a possibility that life originated only once?
- h0l0cube 6y agoLet's say by chance we discover an oracle, that could reveal with perfect certainty whether life existed anywhere else in the universe. I wager, that if I made some non-trivial wager with any other reasonable (and educated) person holding this contrarian view, they would back down before the oracle revealed its answer.
