But the things to do to try to avert looming disaster are the same things to do to be a better person in times of no crisis.
Be kind and loving, develop compassion. That's pretty much it.
The point is not to make it or not. Entropy is the enemy and it will win in the end. So what? No one here gets out alive. The point is to be a better person, to help others, to make things better.
If we are going to make it we will make it though love and compassion.
If we don't make it, then at least we didn't waste the time we had.
I'm sympathetic to your view, but I feel you're talking science-fiction or perhaps religion. By definition the Heat Death means there's nothing left to be the substrate for sapience and intelligence, eh? (If you like to discuss metaphysics I'm game.)
Anyway, intelligence without love is less than pointless.
