His point is that having anger against someone or a group of people is meaningless because we all die eventually and will be gone from this Earth forever.

200 years from now everyone on this site will be buried in the ground and no one will even remember us for who we were. All of the actions that people commit on this Earth mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’s a nihilistic mentality but unfortunately it’s the truth

I get what he's saying. That's all true, but as we live on this Earth, we control the trajectory of the human race. Every generation does their bit.

If you look at it from an individual human, yes what you said it true.

But if you look at it from the human race, no I don't think that should apply. I did things at work, wrote policies, created programs that will be used here when I retire. We are where we are because of those who lived before us. And we try to keep good things going for those who come after us.

We all contribute to the human race and that somewhat determines the trajectory of our species.

Does that all make sense?? Not trying to argue, just looking at it from different viewpoints.
