Conversely, who's to say that just because you get to experience the infinite limits of the universe, you don't want to look down on your family and friends now and then? They won't be there forever. Besides, if a person is interested in being a part of the greater tapestry and history of mankind (even if it is just a settle), they might be curious about how that tapestry has turned out. Also, it's not as though checking on Earth now and then and exploring the universe (speaking of which, why stop at our own universe when a whole infinity of dimensions is at your fingertips?) are mutually exclusive. Individual human life is short. The universe is eternal.
And what's wrong with cocktails with Jesus? Man, I think that'd be pretty cool. Also, intellectual suicide? Aww, now that's not very nice.
