I have no trouble conjuring hypothetical extrapolated superintelligent friendly future versions of myself that have deity-like knowledge relevant to the first referent of purpose.

This gives me an acceptable substitute solution when I find an unknown object of unknown creation that may or may not have some purpose in the mind of some agents at some point(s) in time.

Is this a possible escape route?
