Here's how one Chinese RPG game think of it: they save as much knowledge as possible, and then send it to the outer space, hoping to find a right planet to settle down again and rebuild civilization first, and then one day make a call back home and return earth to its former glory. (That's Genshin Impact/Honkai Impact 2&3)
Here's how one Japanese RPG game think of it: they separated human body and soul and send it to outer space as well, and the "people" who lived in the earth will now be humanoid androids instead to prevent themselves from being "corrupted", in other word, your soul could remote control the robot from outer space, and achieved "immortality". (That's Nier Replicant/Gestalt/Automata)
But after all, the only problem is: how do we prevent the entropy/information we human build over thousands of year from being annihilated from a single black swan, disastrous event. That's one of the reason I liked informatics so much.
- drivingmenuts 2y agoWho are we saving it for? That level of black swan will end humanity and … well, that's it. We won't need the info. Any species that arises after us will likely follow different paths of development. Any species receiving the information would have to be at a very specific point of development in order to even understand what they received. If we're saving it to aid future generations of humans understand us and/or rebuild or something useful, then by all means, save it. But if we're just trying to prove to the universe that we existed, I don't think the universe cares one way or the other.
