Don't give up?

We can accept our mortality as individuals but why accept that of the species? There is no precedent for what we are. We are the first species that we know of that could be actively trying to survive for as long as possible, at the species level, by concerted effort of intelligent individuals and long term planning.

The average lifespan of mammalian species seems to be 1 to 2 million years. Very short. We should try to survive for much longer than that, and this needs planning and not fucking everything up.

It's also kind of important that we or a descendant species (including a robotic one) survive because we might be alone in the Universe.
