I know, but we did some cool things. Our advances in Math and Physics to unlock the secrets of the universe. Our engineering prowess. The Linux Kernel is a standing achievement of humanity’s ability to contribute to something greater than themselves for no real financial gain. Plus our music and our humour and our entertainment have been just fantastic.
It’d be cool if we could at least have some permanent record of that if we don’t make it, so that future aliens could know that despite us being continual fuckwits, we did do some pretty amazing things.
Yeah we were a blip. But I don’t want that blip to mean nothing.
Well, we have the golden records on the Voyager probes, a similar one on New horizons, and our geo-stationary sats will pretty much last until the end of our solar system. So there will be some evidence of us for at least a few hundred million years or so.
For what it’s worth; the world will survive and adapt. Whether that means the extinction of humanity, is a whole separate matter altogether.
Our species entire existence is a mere blip compared to dinosaurs for an example.

A few of us did some pretty amazing things and the rest of us are fuckwits

Well, actually, our descendants will survive and adapt to the new Middle Ages when civilization collapses along with AI.
