and there are literally 100 million to the power of 100 billion other places out there it could happen again. you're a numbers guy, you know how absurdly huge that number is. i couldn't fit it on this entire page.
wormhole travel and quantumn entanglement have already been THEORETICALLY proven btw (added a bold theoretically since that's a rather important qualifier)
it's not just fantasy territory anymore
asiimov literally predicted that exactly around 2050 we would experience our technological singularity, given that we can provably demonstrate that technology develops exponentially we are quickly approach a moment in time when we will make an inconcievable amount of developments in an insanely short amount of time
just of the things we know of now that could be done before 2030.
using neural net self learning AI to communicate with sperm whales, effectively breaking the inter species communication barrier for the first time EVER
working net positive energy production fusion energy
multiple contact SETI scenarios (some that have probably already happened and we will learn about)
this is no longer sci-fi dude this is just sci-reality
the idea of a FTL warp drive is indeed fantasy, the reality will just be instantaneous wormhole travel via quantumn entanglement
these are ALL things that we have broken ground on in the last 2 years ALONE. the technological singularity is absolutely here. the world in 2050 will be almost unrecognizable from the one today.
not trying to flex or anything just saying i have a habit of being right about shit
my dad got kicked out of the Canadian military of having an IQ too high to legally serve
so did i misinterpret what you said or not
i'm still confused
like honestly dude i'm sorry but there's a reason religions instill their beliefs in children (who are proven to believe literally anything) and that people who aren't raised on fairy tales end up not accepting them or believe them as adults as they can clearly see all the massive gaping holes and flaws
religion served a very important purpose for a long long time, but as nietzche said, god is dead. he has been for some time. we've gone past the point where people can reasonably be expected to believe in religion when presented with so much evidence to the contrary. the fact that science keeps having W after W after W and being vindicated for the last 400 years straight (with a massively accelerated pace lately)
what was the last win creationists had? some old remains of chariots in the red sea? like decades ago?
it's just not it man. i'm sorry. i think you can gain all the same moral benefits but just getting into stoicism without any of the sky daddy stuff. i mean this in the most respectful way possible, i would never say anything like this to a religious persons face. this is for the purposes of this discussion only and i totally respect people who are religious, i want to make that clear. i'm just being honest about my personal view of it all.

imagine believe this shit just because Elon Musk said it on Joe Rogan's podcast trying to sound deep and appeal to cryptobros and boost his stock price
"brooo we're totally living in a simulation brooo... if we can create a simulation brooo that must mean the odds we're in one are like 99.9999999% brooooooo wow think about it bro *hits blunt"
come the fuck on. who is taking this seriously?
the entire argument is "if we can create simulations in our world, the chance we ourselves are in a simulation is 99.9999% (for reasons never stated and only implied)"
that's it
that's the whole argument
the remarkably low probability is counter balanced by the remarkably high number of solar systems out there
you still haven't really commented on the sheer volume of them
if that's your only main hang up then i think that fact completely explains your doubts
U sir. R gay
I don't get it.
If you want them to stop making Marvel Avenger movies, why do you keep paying for front row tickets?

reality is stranger than fiction.
imagine trying to explain the concept of a nuclear bomb and how it works and what it could do to even the most educated person in 1850
it would sound like totally fanciful magic science-fantasy
and yet it's actually a real thing
quantum entanglement IS REAL

The amount of atoms in the entire universe is not that big of an exponent dude
