We do things to achieve goals. The ultimate goal can only be a final one. Thus, the goal of mankind must be death.
There is no appeal whatsoever in my words. As usual, you misunderstand me.You'll have to elaborate more. Unless I have misread you, what you have written could be interpreted as it is better to die than to live, there is no point of living, kill ourselves as soon as one reaches this (your) conclusion is the right thing to do etc. (That is if one acts on one believes, ending one's life is the right thing to do.)
The only goal I can think of that, when reached, ends existence is death.
I think the question in the opening post, as I understand it, yields only absurd answers. Hence my reply.^ Nico, death is not much of a goal is it, since it is the ultimate fate that no one could avoid/everyone is destined to?
The OP is more in line with what one needs to do before one dies. Not just die!

You disagree because you understand the question differently.On the contrary I believe it is a pretty good question, that we all ought to think of at some point of life, but we rarely (if not ever) take a chance to do so.
You disagree because you understand the question differently.
... well, you might also disagree if you understood it the same way I do.
Probably not. But who says she believes so?Would she have started a thread on the topic if she believed only absurd answers would result from it?
No.Does it not mean that I understand the question a little bit more clearly than you do?
What is the goal of mankind?
Is it to exist? or to evolve? Individually or collectively?
How do you view yourself in the idea of the above?
