I think there are LOTS of goals one could have that don’t require a guarantee of extended life. Many moments of joy, positive impact on other people (current and future), sailing the Carribean, etc. In fact, I don’t support any goals that require you specifically to live for a long long time, as opposed to being part of a cooperative structure which lasts beyond any of it’s current members.
I personally have a preference to live longer—I have a personal stake in my own experiences, which does not apply to other people. That is a form of goal, but I see small enough chance of success that I don’t prioritize it very highly—there’s not much I’d give up over the next 30 years for a very tiny increase in the chance I’ll live to 1000.
