Think of it this way. Life mutates to eventually fill all voids. Humans have finally achieved a level of intelligence to be the agents in this propagation of life into the heavens. Just to start, you could cook up some extremophile green bacteria that would survive in the cool cloud tops of Venus. This is not an easy task, but in fifty years or so, our nearest sister planet could look green in the night sky. COSMIC GRAFFITI, man.
I'm only just getting started here. Go to the Virtual Astrobiology Society on Facebook. These guys have big plans for the next million years of our Milky Way galaxy. Unlike you, they are taking the best shot they have got at touching eternity.
I suggest checking out Isaac Arthur on YouTube. He's a physicist and futurist dedicated to producing videos on the future of the galaxy, humanity, AI, extraterrestrials, and how the universe will likely be at various stages in the future. It's along the lines of what you described.
As a futurist myself, I believe it's entirely possible to eventually transcend suffering and even death. I think it's possible to master physics and mathematics to such an extent that science is essentially an already-written book and that what we do with technology becomes essentially an art.
I see room for an amazing future. That said, I'm still essentially a nihilist in the technical sense. I don't believe life has a "meaning" or "purpose" inherent to it, but that doesn't mean that we can't find our own purposes and have a blast.
Agzactly, my friend. The nihilism of survival has produced the evolution of ecosystems. Life is interdependent on other life. Our galaxy is our nursery, even tho few realize it. And as you say, there is an Art to thinking BIG. 👍
Life is meaningless
