The genus Homo was the first to reach the finish line in the marathon of intelligence, primarily due to the development within itself of the seeds of humaneness – care and mutual aid.
Beautiful human feelings and emotions were formed in a long evolutionary process, primarily due to love, work, cooperation, and the exploits and hopes of the most ancient and ancient people. If life is joy, love to a human is virtue and pride!
The human race at the beginning of its existence was the result of an extremely favorable confluence of circumstances. However, its further evolutionary development to attain full intelligence would have been impossible without the decisive role of humans themselves.
The origin of intelligence, is it a mandatory and 'inevitable' property of reality? No, it's causeless and spontaneous. Reality could have existed in a primitive form without the self-organizing property. So why does the Universe possess this property, thanks to which intelligence arose in the process of evolution? Just, without a cause. Without this property, no questioning being would have emerged.
Humanness — an essential feature of the Homo genus, developed by themselves, without which they could not have achieved the current level of development. Furthermore, without its further refinement, there's no prospect for the future.
The past and present events in the Universe point towards the fact that the extinction of humans, or any other potential intelligent life, in this space desert is a common physical phenomenon.
Why does the world exist? The universe exists simply without a cause. It either emerged spontaneously or has eternally existed — that's a separate topic. Inherently, it possesses a self-organizing property but lacks a predetermined purpose. The universe is essentially a specific possibility for the birth and formation of various complex phenomena, including primitive intelligent life. Over time, these phenomena either get destroyed or cease to exist, while new ones may emerge. However, intelligent beings have the opportunity to extend their existence if they manage to harness the potential of their inherent qualities and the capabilities of their surrounding world. Fortunately, the potential of fundamental human traits and the opportunities offered by the physical world for flourishing are extraordinary, and it is our choice whether we reach the stars or regress into dissolution.
