Does humanity have a final goal? a) If so, what is it, by whom was it decided, and when? b) If its existence will span billions of years, or perhaps even more, will it undergo revisions? c) Or is it still undefined, and must it be determined by mankind itself? d) Could 'happiness' stand as the sole answer? e) Is it actually meaningful to talk about this?
The future of humankind is inseparable from its fundamental universal values and the peaceful exploration of space, which can provide a solid foundation for the long-term security of humaneness.
If people value goodness and truth, art and beauty, joy and happiness, then they should know that a reliable distant future will contain them in immeasurably greater quantities. Therefore, it too is of the utmost value.
The reliability of the distant future poses a challenge to the self-love of modern humanity: if it values goodness, knowledge, beauty, and happiness, then there will be much more of these in that future.
Homo sapiens will become a spiritual being when a stable predominance of the appropriate combined attributes is present within them: humanity, rationality, a love for the beautiful, and an orientation towards the distant future.
