I was having a conversation with a rather forward thinking person in my office, and, without veering too far into teleology, I agreed with his premise. Which is more or less what crazy old Timothy Leary used to say.
Which is as follows:
If intelligent beings (like ourselves) evolve on natural life-bearing worlds anywhere in the universe for any purpose, (or, if you prefer, if they serve any particular function), it is:
TO EXPLORE AND EVENTUALLY COLONIZE SPACE.
In the big picture and long run, what else matters?
