Maybe, when we are young, the world (and the universe at large) are part of our identity of self, but as we grow older we reduce our sense of “self” to just our own physical body and mind.
I have seen some people having the inverse transition, blending with their environment and communities as they got older. Perhaps it’s more like a cultural thing than a personal process. It’s hard not to become selfish in our society model.
Yes, me too. But sadly most people love it. “Oh it’s so warm, spring is finally coming”, there wasn’t even winter yet, bitch. “Aw it’s really bad weather outside”, it’s the first rain in 4 months, you should be happy you dense fuckwit.
Personally I’ve always been into space exploration stories (I mean, Star Wars isn’t always exploration (I read the books, and some are about uncharted stuff a bit, like Outbound flight, and I do like Star Trek too) and kinda hope we’re at that tech by then. I also really enjoy stuff like Schlock Mercenary and videos like https://youtu.be/ulCdoCfw-bY which while showing a bomb, also talks about a way to use black holes to outlive Red and White Dwarves, which normally should be the last source of light and heat in the universe. A colony properly using the energy black holes would still contain could potentially last trillion of years longer than all stars.

And that’s the reason why we fuck our planet for profit. Climate change? Not our problem, the future generations can deal with it.
