We don't. Well, what I mean is that we step aside from intentionality/agency for a bit to evaluate our intention processes. To be useful to our future generations(if they survive this coming shakeup), we document what we have learned, as you are doing already. We try to help those that are trying to establish communities of generous living on their places. We try to not make things worse by being overcompetitive and we talk to others about how imagined competitive fanaticisms are tricking their ability to relate as cooperative humans.

We let physical reality take its proper course and try to be more helpful than hurtful.

Then, like all living things, we die.
