Do you ever stop to think about how weird it is to be alive?Like we just wake up in a huge floating rock one day out of nowhere.Too many things need to be aligned for us to be here right now. It seems too improbable.And don't mention the Anthropic principle because saying we only exist in universes that support live, in no way explains the reason why we actually exist or why we exist in this specific universe.
>>16965988Indians and chinese never think of these things
>>16965988Yeah. It's quite the mystery.
>>16965988You're here because you can only be here. You wouldn't pop up anywhere else
>>16965988Don't care if this is gay, but what sometimes blows my mind, is when I see a flower or something and think how it's just a bunch of chemical processes that through selective pressures optimized its own replication. And how I'm basically the exact same thing
>>16966036That doesn't answer at all the unlikelihood question.The universe is estimated to have like 10^100 years in total.If I assume the average of being alive to be 100 years then the probability that we're experiencing a time where I'm actually alive, and considering closed individualism is true, is naively 10^(-98).
>>16966197that doesn't follow because you assume you are the only event that lives to be 100, there are tonnes of events that last similar time, if you included them all, then the probability plateaus close to one
