My experiences tell me it is a vast and mysterious Universe full of purpose and meaning. Look at all we can learn if we open. That may be the reason... Learning, Evolving, the experience of possibilities, the opportunity to grow and make better choices, the opportunity to realize, to become aware, conscious, to open the heart.
I'm sure cancer is all optimistic while it's choking the life out of its host.
The ignorance to our great potential you mention as it's being squandered might cause us to run out of time before this "evolution" you hope for ever happens.
Not to be so pessimistic but I'm just doing the math,, and math seldom lies to me the way people do.
Two people walking on a beach come across thousands of dying starfish tossed onto the sand by the surf. One starts putting them back into the ocean. The other says, "Why bother? There's too many." The one says, "It matters to this one." It matters to each one who wakes up, and may have a surprising effect on the whole. To change species level consciousness apparently only requires a critical mass. Then there is resonance and perhaps a quantum leap. And something else could happen. It is a mysterious Universe.

I hope you're right. It would seem like such a cruel waste otherwise.

I think that's a wonderful sentiment.
My calculator doesn't.
But I'll only give up hope on my death bed I suppose.
