My counter to that is that you might be describing a naturally cyclically unstable system (like a a weather system that naturally produces hurricanes or a tornado) and hoping that it somehow becomes stable again as it was back when winds were 5 mph. My counter to that is that it’s just wishful thinking to believe that any system will forever run at low entropy type conditions. It’s very possible that all systems are inherently just cyclical. I don’t see any evidence yet that we are so different from ie any other dominant branch of life in this planet, by which I mean - the dinosaurs went away.
Also - Our obsession with stability often ends up causing more instability not less, because fudging against the natural trend lines of instability and chaos necessary to the system just lead to a repressed energy exploding in our face - sometimes that’s just what happens.
IMO it's not a "system" that exists outside of us, it's something we make and sustain so we can live. A child doesn't necessarily grow up in a stable environment, but if it doesn't, it cannot learn (we need a save have to retreat to to process new stimuli, to put it briefly). If it's so unstable that temperature randomly goes up to 1000°C it doesn't even live.
Does the universe care? "Should" humans exist? "Should" something rather than nothing exist? I would argue it doesn't matter, what matters for us is what we want, and why we want it etc.
Essentially, civilization is an organism, and no cell (a person) can really affect it, except mostly negatively. The positive change is just stay alive, dont eff it up for others, and actively help the people around you. I think thats it.
