Does it really matter that civilisation and the earth remain for another 100 years? After you are dead you supposedly won't care anyway, because, well, you supposedly no longer exist. Why does society need to continue to exist even after you have died? You might think that it would be "neat", especially when thinking of all technological advances that humans could make in the future. But hey, you won't experince them anyway, if you're dead.
And if your religion is true and there is an afterlife, you still won't experience the progress of society, because you will be somewhere else, won't you. So why should
you care?
