Aeon: Purposeful Universe

Between belief in a creator and belief in a designer, is there a cosmic purpose?

Spoiler:

> I take a middle way between these two extremes. I think human life can be very meaningful even if there is no cosmic purpose, so long as we engage in meaningful activities, such as kindness, creativity and the pursuit of knowledge. But, if there is cosmic purpose, then life is potentially more meaningful. We want our lives to make a difference. If we can contribute, even in some tiny way, to the good purposes of the whole of reality, this is about as big a difference as we can imagine making.

The author seems to take an extended Stoic view, extended with a cosmic meaningness to life.
