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
