Well, you know, values. What are your values? Whatever they are, probably humanity ticks a lot of the boxes, which are probably not ticked by tapeworms or wombats (even) or icy rocks floating in space. Or maybe you just have one core value, like knowledge: it's still humanity that's best equipped to sustain or further it (until we get deprecated maybe). Or maybe you don't have any values, in which case, fair enough, good point, fuck it.
