Unclear how many corners of the universe harbor consciousness, or if there is anything more complex than the human brain. We might be more significant than spatial scale might suggest

It would be pretty wild if we were in fact the only complex (as we define the word) minds in the universe. But given how so far every instance of us thinking ourselves as special has proven hilariously misconceived, I would hesitate to bet my lunch money on it.

Totally true! All I am saying is that spatial scale arguments for human insignificance might be misleading...
-
huh? spatial what?
-
Size of the universe (multiverse?)
-
And the idea of significance might be misleading, because the question naturally arises, significant to whom. Humans might be significant only to themselves
-
alas, with a sample size of 1, impossible to know how common the evolution of complex brains is
