Why not? Seriously, why wouldn't we try to preserve and upgrade our species for as long as physically possible?

Would we complain if whales said "we don't want our species to end"? Or ants, for that matter?

"No whales, it's the ultimate hubris that you think you have a right to exist and continue existing."

Why is it hubris for humans, like all other species on Earth, to want to exist, propagate, and, since we're intelligent, learn and grow our intelligence, and spread it beyond home base?
