Your suggestions lead to the same conclusion BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION.
Correct. You've discovered that the end result is you die.
As I've said multiple times, you die in the end no matter what. So, your choice is this: Red pill or Blue pill. Notice, you still die when you take the red pill, but you aren't a slave your whole life.
You seem to want the world to be different, but it aint. At least, not in my experience. Act accordingly.
Act accordingly.
Why? It doesn’t matter. Literally nothing matters. Our species is extinct before 2100 and nothing will ever be remembered of our existence or creation. Why do anything except prevent that?

Are you implying there is something we can do to stop this calamity you propose will occur before 2100?
If not, then all you are doing is whining about something you cannot change.
Why bother asking for something to do when you're conclusion is "we're screwed and nothing matters".
If that's the case, then why not just kill yourself now? If nothing matters, and there's no point, then why bother? Why did you even spend the energy to type what you did? Clearly, some part of you believes there's somethng in this life worth hanging on to. Fight to live, my friend. Even if this existence is ephemeral, you exist now, so do something.
This is my fundamental issue with naturalistic views of existence. Naturlaism being the belief that there is nothing past the physical. If that is the case, if there's nothing after this life, then EVERYTHING is pointless and any philosophy is predicated on nihilism. Given the choice between the two, and given that neither view can be proven nor disproven, I choose to go with the non-nihilistic perspective.
do something
What, then. And why. The formal plan for my life right now is to off myself once I’ve sold all my possessions, so if you can give me a reason to bother living—a single fucking reason you think that human civilization itself, never mind my species, will exist beyond 2100 given current information and the last century of history—I’m all fucking ears.

For the life of me, I can’t understand how these people get out of bed in the morning. Unless they’re literally nothing but animals, who only act based on stimulus response and instinct. For those of us who are sapient, the idea that others aren’t like us (indeed, are so fundamentally different) is dismissed offhand. We can’t fathom that the vast majority of people simply don’t THINK. They don’t have a mind, in the way that we understand “humanity” to have a consciousness.
I grow concerned that they really don’t. and I grow concerned that we’re literally wasting time and effort in treating them as though they do.
