I have a goal for humanity, provide or at least guarantee without excessive efforts the basics such as food, housing and health care to every single human being.
We've been left on this planet to make something of it. The what will determine who we are. The greatest danger of such moral education though, something I completely fear, is that we might be imposing a flawful, wrong system; or something we consider right for us, yet harms anybody else. Hence why I put emphasis on the "objective" view of reality, so we by common sense and consensus decide that's something obviously correct. Just like mathematic truths are (2 and 2 is always 4, no matter what, when or how). Also, making this world a better place is too easy, but getting into detail is way much more complicated. Just like people said "I want to go to the Moon", but have no actual plans to do so. We have to build a staircase to our highest thoughts; in which each step is a reachable goal that makes us be closer to the final one. (It's curious how we want to fix the progress we've done so far with more progress.) Finally, we have to know well what we wish, and if it is a worthy or good purpose. Immortality is arrogance over death, personally I don't like that one. I'd rather work on making my little stay on this place, and the other's too, less bitter.
