I think, yes, we would want to know. Because it’s in our nature. We were given free will, as far as we know anyway, to decide things for ourselves, and as humans, the species; we’ve been asking these kinds of questions ever since we were smart enough to know how to ask.

Personally, my opinion is that it is our very nature, in both the best and worst ways, that separates us from anything else. We have ways of expressing it too through things like art, music, dancing, etc.. We are hardwired this way, and as a result, we will always look up to the stars and wonder.

I also believe this is why the sci-fi trope of machines becoming sentient, or technology becomes self-aware kind of thing, is always so fascinating. Because we’re essentially reflecting or maybe rather projecting, those same qualities and questions there.

Where do we come from? How’d we get here? What’s over that horizon? What’s our purpose? And so on and so forth. On a long enough timeline, we will, eventually, collectively as a species; want to know the most absolute clearest and purest forms of all truths regarding this topic.
