  >The nature will find a proper equilibrium, shake off the metastatic human expansion, heal Earth's surface wounds, digest the plastic. Nature is not much consolation without humans. If you value it, it's because you're human and have value judgements, not because the cold indiferrent universe puts any value to it. The universe is gonna pull the lights out for the sun, and the planet before that anyway. In fact, "better without humanity" is the ultimate human sentiment. No animal would be so absurd!

  This is a genuine question, I'm not trying to be an asshole or troll you: How do you get up in the day and do anything? What motivates you? It seems you think humanity would be better off not existing. Why do you exist? I'd like to understand your state of mind.

    For me particularly, there is no specific reason to exist, and I am quite happy about this. I am not special to leave any lasting impact, as Elon would do. I was born without being asked, as any animal or plant, because of the selfish genes, driving my parents to breed. There is no other higher purpose in life, rather than the chemical/biological survival instinct. The brain has an "activity center", part of nature, which forces me to wake up in the morning, get some food and do computer work. I enjoy my life very much, I live at the Ocean, trying to keep stress down and to retire early (FIRE), live until I die of natural causes.
