"the true purpose is to learn all about our world"
Is it? I thought that was closer to a desire, a want, occasionally a need for many (not all), not any sense of purpose or reason for existing. A person could live without learning beyond a basic level of functioning and still succeed in the act of existing, and many resist learning and don't always fail from doing so (in their minds, they believe they've "learned enough"). Also, if it were our purpose to learn all about our world in every aspect possible, ignorance wouldn't be a more common approach, our desire to learn everything would remain present even when it contradicts one's world views. No, this is simply a reason to keep going, a reason to keep seeking itself, a result of further human hype, not full blown "purpose".
Purpose in this sense is defined as: "The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists", such as a shovel's purpose being digging. A person who believes in God strongly for example believes their purpose is connected to faith. A business tycoon may believe their purpose is to succeed in making money, forming status, that sort of thing. A librarian may believe their purpose is the pursuit of knowledge from a specified field if not generally. They may seek to find as much as they can within that limited frame of purpose seeking, but it still does not truly explain why people were created or why they exist, it simply notes the answer they accepted within the range of human thought.
To assume our purpose has anything to do with the human limitations of thinking is to limit our options significantly, so I find it easier to, until more answers are found, sit on an Occam's Razor style of reasoning of a true purpose not existing. A lack of "why" so far makes more sense than any overly specific answer that applies to everyone at once.
If any purpose for people as a whole were to be found, my first thought would be to find that which is present in every living person, that if no longer present would kill the person. In that sense, my closest answer is "consumption", but then the question just asks "why" for that. "No reason" is the best I've got, if not questioning the importance of purpose in the first place.
Edit: Huh, on second thought, maybe the purpose of people itself is purpose seeking, the reason seeking itself being the reason for it. What other manner of creature care to such a degree about it other than people? Why would things like Existential Crisis even exist otherwise? It still falls into "no reason" digging with enough time, so I'm not sure it's enough of an answer really.
Still in the grand scheme of things shows people to largely be unimportant I'd argue if that's all there is to it, if the endgame is pointless beyond personal appraisal at best. We'd have more luck finding answers with an "outside opinion", if we were to meet a manner of creature that was sentient, yet possessed an understanding of life completely alien to our own, to compare notes with. It'd at least help us see how much of it is "human" versus "sentient".
