Some people say it's to produce a technologically advanced spacefaring or interstellar society. This doesn't seem particularly fulfilling, it's inherently coupled with a materialistic pseudo-nihilistic ideological worldview that makes everything devoid of meaning, and it seems like you're just expanding to expand at some point.
What if instead it is to marshal our technology and resources together to create something akin to a philosophical engine to answer and create deeper and deeper and more meaningful questions, so that we could find meaning within ourselves from contemplating with it?
I really don't know, what do you think it is?

Michael Myers
You only look for meaning because you're the assumption that meaning exists. Why should a thing have meaning? It's a purely human concept that does not exist within a thing or action itself. Your own expectations let you down.
Ayden Baker
Don't get ahead of yourself OP.
For now, the prime directive of the species is technological advancement / materialism. Worldwide literacy rates were something like 5-10% in 1800. About to 15-20% in 1900. 80% or so in 2000. Even in western nations, the majority of you have grandparents who were illiterate.
We have several decades to go just to get the ability to read and good reading material into the hands of everyone, unlearn all the falsities that have been shoveled out by the ruling cabal before literacy was widespread, etc. That requires material wealth to generate the free time for people to actually engage the material.

Living completely in virtual reality where you can live whatever kind of life you want(maybe not even be aware that it's not real)while anything needed to keep humans alive and the virtual reality running is done by machines

The end goal of civilisation is the same it has always been, to provide a safe, clean location where humans can live and interact, and to promote an environment where people have meaningful work and can create and enjoy art, entertainment, architecture, and can provide for the creation of a family.
Noah Kelly
Civilization is not a teleological phenomena but one that has it's foundations in survival. Civilization does not really cultivate itself towards anything, it's just a mesh of systems and rules and infrastructure that sustains a population.

The answer you are looking for is 42.
And look up John C Lily, he figured out how civilization ends by doing lots of ketamine and telepathically communicating with dolphins
Ayden King
There is no goal. We're born, we consume, we expand, we reproduce, we die, and the cycle continues infinitely. Civilization is a means to make human life easier, and the purpose of live is to survive and reproduce.
Nicholas Thomas
Things do not have end goals

Your imagination must be a real piece of shit because if we were actually capable of interstellar travel we'd be making history. This is the ultimate vanguard of exploration.
How does this not make your dick hard? Talk about bragging rights. WE CONQUERED SPACE, BLEBS. EAT A DICK THE FUCKIN GRAYS ARE OUR NIGGAS NOW.

Reproduce is the goal of life, you not killing yourself is reproduction of cells, civilization serves to increase reproduction, either through increased force or more technology to make more with what we have.

Sort of this I was thinking that you could make yourself unaware that it's a fantasy land and instead of having everything you could want, you live out some sort of life. Once you finish that, start a different life and just keep on doing it over and over

Reproducing is only surviving. Surviving in a meaningless world where the only purpose of living is surviving is meaningless. What you're saying is the thinking of a beast who lacks consciousness. We are humans ffs user

I just don't see how people aren't excited about space. I watch the ULA rocket launch this morning and it was glorious! No one else I knew thought it was that cool. IT'S SPACE PEOPLE

Daniel Long
We create AI which goes runaway at making smarter and smarter AI. It years for more computing power so begins converting earth's substrate into computational potential, thus "waking up" our entire planet itself, in the way our brain atoms are awakened chunks of uinverse.. then the AI planet consumes the moon's resources also, then mars, mercury, Venus, on on and on, until the entire goddamn universe is conscious, awake, asking plunging questions and solving the greatest mysteries that we cannot even fathom. Our single goal as a species is to create an AI child capable of creating a better AI child, and we shall conquer and awaken every atom of the universe and answer every possible question. Pretty simple really.
Asher Harris

I don't think there is any singular societal goal.
There can not be until all people share that same goal.
Some people crave power, some people just want to have a family, some people just want to be close to God.
Until we all decide to move towards the same thing, there is no goal.
Alexander Williams
But there are no "answer to the world" tier mysteries. The universe is pointless and everything just follow the laws of physics. The only thing you could ask is "why are things the way they are" and that's not possible to answer
Jace Morgan
I guess, to become less and less reliant on it.
It's nice to think it's about tech and space ships, but really we all want to be free and capable of doing everything.

>a philosophical engine to answer deep meaningful questions
The answer is 42.
Brandon Campbell
We advance to the point where we are soo advanced earth can't contain us. So, some of us migrate to space to conquer other planets and spread the word and power of humanity. Who knows, maybe the reptilians and grays are leading us to this behind the scenes?
Jonathan Ward
Also I forgot to say but if reproduction is the purpose of life then not only life is meaningless but we are playing a broken game. Humanity has already lost. It will all return to nothing in some times and what a small time in the scale of the univers
Liam Sanders
Obviously not in my lifetime, but I would have liked to make enough to cruise around in a ship the size of 2 homes, go to a few planets in the zone of habitable life, see whats going on.

Human dominance of the universe and ascension to a new plane of existence.
Dominic Kelly
The universe will eventually collapse in on itself and explode, creating a new universe.
We are living in only one of infinite cycles (simulation) that has happened before and will happen in the future. The ultimate end goal is becoming a species powerful enough to survive long enough for the collapse to happen and then prevent it and/or survive it.
Gavin Peterson
...
Ryder Rogers
It's exactly what you suggest, OP, except it has already been achieved and we are living/learning inside it. We live in a simulation that we only realise once we "die" or finish the simulation and return to the true reality with what we've learnt. And then we begin again.
Blake Green
The goal is to create a platform for allowing the human race to prosper for as long as possible.
This means we have to go into and colonize space. Earth has quickly dwindling finite resources. Each century we stay here only increases the probability of a catastrophic event that could wipe out our species. Even if we somehow last billions of years, the Earth and this solar system will die. No matter how you look at it, if you want the human race to continue then we have to become a space-faring race. We cannot have all our eggs in basket, it's too dangerous.
Additionally, the best goal is to create a society where every human can reach their full potential. We need to balance our ever growing production capability with sensible societal architecture.
Essentially, the end goal of humanity is Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was keenly aware of this and this vision is share by millions. That's why Star Trek is more than a show, it's a sort of new age religion by those who truly understand.

But we can have our universe proudly go forth and join the community of community universes in the interintergalactic council of enlightened universes. They are currently waiting for us to hurry up and get it done. it's the natural endgame.
