It’s only depressing if you’ve convinced yourself that you’re something more than an intelligent ape.
If you think about it from the perspective of an animal that had no concept of time, space, ethics, or philosophy just a few hundred thousand years ago, then we’re actually pretty impressive.
We probably won’t have any significant effect on the galaxy, but we sure have an effect on Earth.
