Superorganisms without a cause

Humans are "superorganisms"
I am not superman

I quote "It is also argued that humans are actually a superorganism that includes microorganisms such as bacteria. It is estimated that "the human intestinal microbiota is composed of 1013 to 1014 microorganisms whose collective genome ("microbiome") contains at least 100 times as many genes as our own[...] Our microbiome has significantly enriched metabolism of glycans, amino acids, and xenobiotics; methanogenesis; and 2-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate pathway–mediated biosynthesis of vitamins and isoprenoids. Thus, humans are superorganisms whose metabolism represents an amalgamation of microbial and human attributes."

A superorganism is just a way of saying we're like a colony of ants, in which many life forms contribute to the survival of the whole. ANT-hropology! The word anthropology comes from Greek: ἄνθρωπος, anthropos, "human being"; and λόγος, logos, "speech" lit. to talk about human beings) is the study of humanity.

We're all so...super!

But, I would like to point out, reproduction is less of an imperative (if it ever was) then ever before. I answer the philosophical questions of why am I here and what is my purpose for being with the simple evolutionary logic of a)my parents made me, and b)to reproduce and assist my gene pool. Basically, what am I? I'm a living sack of dna-carrying meat, that exists solely to be fruitful and multiply, and not in the terms of eating fruit and doing calculations (although both can be a part of staying alive and furthering your dna). That is, I live for my children/family.

On the other hand, everyone is doomed. Even if you father a nation, like Abraham supposedly did (or was it Jacob), everyone will eventually die. The sun will explode, the universe will end, and, even if we successfully master space travel and occupy other planets, I imagine humanity, like all stars themselves, will die, like every other species anywhere. Time annihilates everything. Jesus said he was the life, but he also said he was the omega.
