I think I understand Max to say that we are not insignificant because we are able to see and understand the observable universe (i.e. we give meaning to the universe). That really resonates with me. But what I’m most hopeful about, is that we are not the only ones who can and/or do see the universe. I’m hopeful that somewhere in the cosmos there is a vastly smarter and more civilized life form that better understands and gives deeper meaning to the universe’s grand design.
