I believe the best motivation is compassion without attachment. Being attached to any specific future—we are certain to be doomed or I have this plan that will maybe save us all—is pointless speculation.
Instead, we should use our bayesian inference mind to find the most likely path to help—out of compassion—and pursue it with all our heart. Regardless of whether it works or not, we aren’t sad or experiencing suffering since our mind is just filled with compassion.

If we’ve done this, then we’ve done our best.
