The obvious response is to use your own logic and ask why the
quadrillions of ETs are not eating their suns?
Are you the only one in the universe that wants to do that?  :)

I think the big step required to face up to is that what we want now
will be nothing like what we want as post-sing intelligences. Even in
our brief lifespan what we want as 20 year olds is not what we want as
50 year olds.

The thoughts of fast-thinker AIs will be incomprehensible to us. As
will be their desires and goals.
We should hope that they go away to do their own thing in virtual
reality. Our sun being eaten could be a bit of a problem for us.
