the thing about life and all

we live in a very hot universe, where gunk gets together because of gravity and pressure and has a lot of energy.  a high energy state is not the ideal state though, so reactions occur between little gunkies that take them from a higher energy state to a lower one.  atomically speaking, things cooperate out of the "need" for efficiency.
then when you look at biological systems, there's a lot of energy going on there too.  the little gunkies there come together and cooperate, saving each of them a little energy and promoting the whole local area to a lower energy state.
so those gunkies get together and make creatures.  the creatures don't exist as an exception to the rule of the universe.  creatures are smaller gunkies that come together to save each individual gunkie energy.
and so it goes on up to us.  we exist, in terms of physics, because we are more efficient states of existence for the beings that make us, for the microbes that make them, for the atoms that make them, and so on.

it's because where we are in the evolution of the universe, things are very very hot and compact.

life is not the exception, it's the rule.  everything will cooperate because it uses less energy overall.  cooperation makes atoms, micobes, fish, and us, and society.  society is a larger organism composed of us.

by the very laws of nature, life and societies will arise, likely damned near anywhere.

go that way really fast.
