The Hidden Truth Trophy in The Meaning of Life quest is acquired by completing Jan Scientist's quest. It unlocks near the conclusion of the third act.

Scientist's lesson: Pragmatism unlocks after you complete the task given by the same clone. Just make sure that he stays with you during the important choice in Act 2. Eventually, The Meaning of Life quest will start at a point in Act 3.

Scientist will ask you to craft one package of polymers which he can use to escape the lava river. When you complete his request, he'll ask for your permission to leave the base for a day. Make sure you accept it, since refusing will skip the entire quest and you'll miss out on earning the Hidden Truth Trophy in The Meaning of Life quest.

If given permission, Scientist will leave the base. However, he won't return at night. Instead, he comes back the next day. While he has found something, he doesn't reveal it. Scientist instead suggests you see it with your own eyes. He'll mark a previously unavailable location on your map. Visit the point of interest and walk through the polymer bridge on top of the gap next to the Rapidium mines.

Eventually, you'll find yourself looking at a distant Oasis and some vegetation that survived the brutal conditions on the planet. Return to the base and speak to Scientist. He'll reveal the mystery behind what you just saw.

Eventually, Scientist asks your permission to stay on the planet. You'll need to decide his fate here. While both choices complete the quest, it's better to let him stay. He wants to continue his research on the planet not just for his job, but to satisfy his own curiosity.

Thus, allowing him to stay will be the morally right option. Furthermore, it also nets you the Hidden Truth Trophy in The Meaning of Life quest. After you make the same choice, Scientist will leave the base within five days. This will conclude the titular mission in The Alters.
