This is not a rational response, I admit, but I simply cannot accept that our doom is inevitable and resistance is futile. If that's the case, then what's the point of even waking up tomorrow?

Personally I don’t think nihilism is a great compass. You’re right - what’s the point? But do we need a higher good to beat on? Why not just enjoy the essence of our personal temporal existences and make whatever meaning makes sense to us as individuals?

And I don’t think doom is the right word. I mean yeah, Homosapien as we know it being wiped out but in a way similar to Neanderthal.

But it’s just one theory on it all. :)
