Oh shit, future you has found some kinda fulfillment in a greater cause and enjoys his life and work with a group of peers and friends that work for the good of the universe. How terrible.

[ Boo motherfucking hoo, bitty brainy. ]

Kinda hard to work on the progression of science if super powered assholes are blowing the universe up, you know. Can't work in the universe if it's gone. Probably the more pragmatic choice and hey- if he enjoys it? More power to him.
