I still think we should destroy it. We basically have to options here:
Option 1 is certain death. With option 2 there's at least some hope for a new beginning.
Of course we don't have a way to destroy the universe yet but we have 10^78 years to figure it out. Once we have the means to start some chain reaction that rips space time itself and destroys the entire universe we should do it.
Option 1 is hope for a new beginning too depending on certain theories.
There's a lot of fancy math involved that I don't understand but the upshot is that mathematically a completely barren uniform universe and an infinitely dense point are technically identical and theoretically one could spontaniously become the other.
Of course, if we can prove those theories and we will know our universe will eventually give birth to a new one we won't have to destroy it. But if we prove that the future is just infinite emptiness I think we should.
