What's your point of living? You're all eventually going to die. When you die, there will be no afterlife. It's almost as if you never existed in the first place because you'll forget you'll ever existed, thus you'll forget about anything that made you happy in life and any good moments in life. You can "make the best of it" while you're "here on Earth" for these "rare 80 [only if you're lucky] years", but in the end it won't matter. Most people won't leave behind a legacy, and even if you left one behind, it won't last long. Even famous luminaries like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley will be forgotten sooner than later. Your contributions to humanity won't matter either because humanity will end, and life on Earth will be wiped out by a meteor in a few centuries from now or even sooner. If that doesn't happen, humans will go extinct anyway by robots.
So we will all completely disappear. So what? As we grow, we lose a lot of years and stages forever. Abrahamic religions pretty much claim there are no life stages after death and reincarnation claims you won't have all of your memories from your past lives and you might never meet certain persons you love ever again, or as different people. If you eat a good meal you it will eventually be finished or rot, so it will be lost forever. Granted, people usually eat a type of food on multiple occasions, but what you ate is lost forever.
If after I die I will no longer think or have feelings, why worry about others remembering me? It certainly will not be a problem for me then, so why should it be now?
And just because humanity will end, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter. If you read a story that you like, finish it, then end up forgetting about it, would you say that the story was pointless?
