I think you've drastically misunderstood OP, they're not talking about our spacial significance. They're considering given the size of the universe, human-level intelligence (or greater!) most likely exists many times over and is not unique to Earth.
Also I'm not sure why thinking needs to have a "reason" or further some life goal.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y ago> likely exists many times over and is not unique to Earth. And that is supposed to make it less significant to us?
- luhn 6y agoI think you're reading too much into OP's use of "insignificant." I don't think OP is advocating nihilism.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoSo what are they advocating if not that? This is what's unclear and that's why I asked the question.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoI think it is just an incomplete statement that sounds deep but is actually meaningless. In what regard is life on earth insignificant and what is this sentence trying to convey.
