Yes, I understand that your lack of interest in any future for your people is directly connected to your meaningless nihilistic view.
I tend to view my view not necessarily as nihilistic in origin, but well-thought out, overly reasoned, and superbly intellectual. I admit that the end result seems exactly nihilistic from points of view that are a bit less broad in horizon, and obscured by whatever - by dogma in some cases, by lack of follow-through in logical conclusion in other cases, and by lack of sufficient factual knowledge of genetics.
And yes, my outlook is nihilistic, no denying that, when it comes to terms of dispersing my own DNA, and of disseminating my own semen. I advocate dis-semination instead of in-semination. This, I know, is also less than semi-nation-alistic. Said without intent to diss the seminal content of your point.
As to the meaninglessness... well, to you it may be a disparaging remark, or an expression of pity, or a way to show the superiority of your existence, but to me meaninglessness is a necessary conclusion of how life, human life, fits into the cosmic order of the universe. For me the pervasive and undeniable meaninglessness is not something to be ashamed of, because it's a fact-strength logical conclusion. To be angry or ashamed due to the meaninglessness of my life would be equivalent to being angry because the sky is blue and because gravity pulls things toward the centre of the Earth.
