Everyone dies. It's the same as getting a diagnosis that your stage-4 cancer is not operable. Make peace, be kind, accept the inevitable. No way to sustain humanity anywhere off world given 5 years.
Yes we know that all die, but the question what would you do in those 5 years, what will be the most important 5 things for you?

  1. Shift focus from thinking about my unborn family and my future lineage to helping as many people now as possible. No point in worrying about a legacy or heirs or future generations.
  2. Study the works of people who face knowing the time of their inevitable death with the goal of finding a path towards acceptance and peace.
  3. Be present in the moment. The future is coming to an end. All we have is now.
  4. Share everything. Give everything away. Help as many people alleviate current suffering as possible.
  5. Be with the people I love and who love me.
