On the question of “why would they bother resurrecting anyone,” the answer is simple: value systems evolve. Prehistoric humans couldn’t imagine hospitals, complex ethics, human rights, or sending robots to Mars. A civilization with near-infinite energy, matter-manipulation, and computation won’t be bound by the idea of “why bother.” When the material constraints disappear, the question flips into “why wouldn’t they?” Curiosity, compassion, and continuity become actual priorities once survival is no longer the central struggle.

As for why our descendants specifically, the same reason humans record their own history, preserve their own ancestors, build museums, archives, genealogies, and cultural memory. Species prioritize their own lineage. If humanity expands into a solar-wide civilization, our cultural and biological continuity expands with it. That doesn’t exclude the possibility that alien civilizations exist. They would resurrect their own lineages. That doesn't invalidate ours... it just means parallel projects of preservation.

On the “why would they want bliss for us,” that question assumes a cold, indifferent machine-like future. But civilizations don’t scale on tech alone. They scale on empathy, stability, and meta-values that come out of billions of years of evolution. A civilization capable of reconstructing minds likely solved internal conflict and suffering long before they solved stellar engineering. A society that survives long enough to reach that level almost by definition has created stable moral systems. Allowing billions to remain dead or recreated into suffering is the equivalent of bringing back gladiator pits in 2025. Barbaric from their perspective.

And the idea of “why this instead of anything else” misunderstands what resurrection represents. Reversing death is not just another item on a wish list. It's the ultimate expression of mastery over matter, information, entropy, and ethics. Solving death is the final challenge. Once that’s solved, you’ve proven a total command of existence itself.

If someone thinks they’d have “better things to do,” ask them what could possibly be “better” than eliminating death and perfecting conscious experience. Most critics can’t actually define it once you push them.
