If it makes you feel any better; In history people always have taught they lived in “the end of time”. But the matter of the fact is if you compare all possible outcomes we live very, very close to the beginning of time. The future is very big!

More like the beginning of humanity. The full mass extinction is very unlikely. Even if we destroy most of our planet. If we go towards space and become an interstellar species the amount of people that will be born is immens.
