I once wondered if life itself is part of some broader process of the universe that we can't really understand. This isn't to say that "humans" are inevitable (and for the record, I'm quite atheist) or that we itself are the purpose, just that there is some greater purpose for our existence down the line, given this direction toward increasing complexity as the article noted. Of course the purpose itself could be a very boring one. I mean, I doubt that an individual brain cell of mine truly cares about my stress at work.
