Gordian Hive goals vs Utopian Hive goals

This is mainly commentary upon @balioc's book review of Terra Ignota, with the advantage of having read the third book, which balioc had not at that time. The key point that I wish to highlight, praise, and address is this paragraph:

Supposedly these are the passionately anti-mortality people, the people dedicated to “disarming death blade by blade,” the people who won’t use a global transit system with < 10 deaths per year because it’s too unsafe — and yet it’s somehow deeply and disturbingly anti-Utopian for an entomologist not to want to get on a rocket ship to Mars on the grounds that she doesn’t want to deal with the danger. Supposedly the Utopians “hunt down and destroy” everything that ever kills them, but it’s all small-scale stuff (by science-fiction standards), fixing safety rails and curing individual diseases and improving traffic safety and the like. These “big-picture thinkers” don’t have even the beginnings of a plan to defeat death, not for real, and don’t seem to want one. All their big-picture thinking is going into high-risk high-mortality space projects. Hell, the fucking Brillists are better transhumanists than they are; at least the Brillists are making a serious attempt to achieve their alleged immortality-seeking goals!

This is an excellent observation! Utopia isn't really good at personal immortality. They're working on life extension and health, but that's not immortality.

What is it?

I think Utopia's goal is not immortality of the individual, but instead immortality of the species.
