I was looking up tidepools and found this quote from John Steinbeck's The Log from the Sea of Cortez which kind of relates to the concept of Thrive:
“[...] it is a strange thing that most of the feeling we call religious, most of the mystical outcrying which is one of the most prized and used and desired reactions of our species, is really the understanding and the attempt to say that man is related to the whole thing, related inextricably to all reality, known and unknowable. This is a simple thing to say, but the profound feeling of it made a Jesus, a St. Augustine, a St. Francis, a Roger Bacon, a Charles Darwin, and an Einstein. Each of them in his own tempo and with his own voice discovered and reaffirmed with astonishment the knowledge that all things are one thing and that one thing is all things—plankton, a shimmering phosphorescence on the sea and the spinning planets and an expanding universe, all bound together by the elastic string of time. It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again.”
Just an slightly interesting, pointless little tidbit for your possible amusement.

Seems like something that could be shown at the end credits...

Spoken by David Attenborough perhaps...? I can dream...

Seems to me a lot more like something Neil deGrasse Tyson would say. He's also very accessible online, so there's a better chance we actually could get him to say it (or something similar of his own choosing). Maybe someday, when we actually have end credits

David Attenborough would make a great narrator for the opening cutscene, though, I agree.
The opening cutscene could evoke thoughts of the wonders possible with blind evolution, the ending cutscene could provide thoughtful hindsight on the entire journey, from the perspective of the intelligent mind which is the end product. There's a nice symmetry to it, I think.
