>>119645But don’t be glum! You are a by-product of matter going from inert and unchanging to self-replicating. That process of going from a hydrogen atom (or rock)** that that just exists to a hydrogen atom (or rock)** that can reproduce itself (and then become self-aware) has taken an immeasurable amount of time to come into existence in a universe that is CONCERVING energy. You are the APEX of that the process of and if “all the crazy shit that exists in the universe does so in a system CONCERVING energy” doesn’t excite you then “you are the APEX of a process of matter going from inert to self-replicating and self-aware” should really get your socks off.
But you are not unique, everyone is in the same boat. The present moment is full of people (and other biological organism) that are all the APEX of their existence, so tread lightly.
Thank you for reading my blog.
*unless you take energy from somewhere and introduce it to somewhere else (but you are not creating ‘energy’, as that is impossible in our current understanding of the universe).
**metaphorical, not LITERALLY an atom (or rock) but something that has mass
