That’s very clearly the message: you don’t matter on the scale of the Earth, everyone disappears when you zoom out far enough.

And that’s exactly the ethos of so-called effective altruism, longtermism, extropianism, etc. The idea is that you should zoom out and ignore all the individual people because they don’t matter on a large scale, instead we should focus on growing the economy for a technological-utopian future where the number of humans can grow exponentially by living in space and trying to colonize all parts of the universe.

This dominates Silicon Valley and has become a driving force in the tech industry.
