>they've realized that existence is a meaningless venture and doesn't lead anywhere regardless of how advanced their civilization gets, so they simply just self-terminate.

What you are essentially arguing is that existence is necessarily meaningless, even if we reach a total utopia. Even if there is an afterlife, and it is infinite paradise of unimaginable pleasure, happiness, and love forever, where we can do whatever we want with whoever we want, for as long as we want (ecstasy and heroin while having orgies with supermodels^120318957632481236053246987016870616621735107846010354 that we are all in mutual polygamous love with), you are saying that this would still be completely pointless.

Well, the best thing you can possibly do with existence is to enjoy it, in the widest sense of the term. This is what they would to in a potential paradise. And I know that I would absolutely love to exist in paradise forever. If you get tired of it, just reincarnate, have a vacation from pleasure and experience sub-optimal conditions. Or just put yourself to an induced dreamless sleep state for a few gazillion eons.

>It will never tell us what the fuck it is.

Indeed, the materialistic paradigm is unable to do that.

>We're all stuck asking ourself what, if anything, happens when we die.

And yet, so few stop to look at the actual, empirical data about what we know about what it is like to die. Smh. This is an easily digestible introduction to the notion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwyVFW9kT8k

>And no amount of science nor religion will solve that.

Once you abandon fundamaterialistic delusion that science == materialism, and check into NDE research, the picture changes drastically: https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc799144/m2/1/high_res_d/vol21-no1-5.pdf
