And I will quote the great Yatzee
"Humans love apocalypses
It's a well-known fact that every major civilization in history has believed themselves to be living in, or near to, the End Times. Whether it be biblical Armageddon or nuclear war or climate change, the human race has built an entire industry out of doomsaying. Why? Because it's comforting. It's egotism on a generational scale. Just as people can't cope with the idea of their death simply being the cessation of their entire existence, they also don't want to know that the human race will be continuing unconcerned after they've gone. If the apocalypse happens during our generation, then that means we're the most important humans who've ever lived, either because we're the last ones or because we're the only ones who could somehow stop whatever Ragnarok awaits.
But this is wishful thinking. The fact is, if 100% of the doomsayers up to this point were wrong, ours aren't going to be any different. Humanity is too widespread and too disorganized to bring about their own total extinction and the Earth is too small and insignificant to reach the attention of any giant asteroid or murderous all-powerful intelligence. You're going to die and humanity will tenaciously march on, forgetting about you and the entire world you knew. Your body will turn to dust and you won't even leave children behind to leave your mark, just a bunch of out-of-print humor novels and an archive of dick jokes that will probably be wiped when the Space Puritans take over. Perhaps even that is egotistical, to think the Space Puritans will consider your dick jokes important enough to censor, and more likely they'll simply languish forgotten on some disused server forever. And now you're projecting again. Stop it."
So, my answer is No.
