Wow, really powerful article, throughly enjoyed this excerpt:

For all we know, we may be the only living beings in the universe, or at least the only ones with consciousness. How remarkable that on this remote planet, we've got the ability to ask questions, to write blog posts, to seek cures for cancer. If all we have is one another, our brief life spans, and the things we’re able to discover and create, then we've got the power and responsibility to make our lives meaningful.
