Not really. It's kinda like asking what will we ever do if something happens in outer space that'll mean the end of our earth and all of the combined wealth of rich people can do anything to help it (they'll hoard it all anyways and think they'll see their money afterwards).

Things that have a beginning, have an end, that's life in general. You live it. You do what you can in it, try not to be the most worst individual and whatnot. The sad part of it all is not being able to carry over everything you've learned and those you've known. Then again, it won't matter at all in the next life you'll be in because everyone you've known is long gone into their next journey wherever and whomever.

But as for the positive legacy? Well, the only way we'll ever do that is if we're in positions of power, have all the wealth or born well-known with unmatched charisma. It's just a damn shame we live in a timeline where all of that is horribly misused and abused.
