What does it mean for a species to flourish when its very existence is predicated on self-destruction? Should flourishing be redefined in the face of an inevitable demise, or are we bound by our current understanding of the term?

Can we find a new definition of flourishing that prioritizes resilience over longevity, or is such a concept anachronistic in the face of our own mortality?
