Current Events > I always wondered how i am alive.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you guys get what I mean? Like if some other sperm took my place in the baby making process. Would my body and mind be totally different?

it would not exist

Yeah been thinking of this for several years

and think about this who wants it?

ill go

all will perish eventually but the who wants it messes with my brain

Constantly 'if I was really the best of the sperm, just think how fucked up those other kids would have been'

I believe the egg decides which fertilizer gets it

Do you deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, who answers?

actually new science has learned sperm work together

We found that human sperm cooperate, forming motile swimming groups when prompted by conditions that mimic the viscosity contrasts in the female tract. Individual sperm attached and continued migration as a group upon transit into and through a high-viscosity medium from low-viscosity seminal fluid.

guess life isn't dog eat dog like capitalist liars tried to paint it as being afterall

I always felt like, "how different are we, really?"

like, the sense of self you have - if the "you" you are wasn't born, why couldn't another you exist as someone else, with that similar sense of self?

to expand on that, maybe there are multiple versions of individuals who are on a similar wavelength as you...maybe even me

Don't worry.

Climate collapse will likely happen in the next 10-20 years. Billionaires are apparently building "doomsday" bunkers even now in increasing numbers. They won't work though.

You can stop wondering after that point.

Interesting. Unfortunately my impulsive and especially intrusive thoughts don't really operate rationally.

The odds of you being born were 1 in 400,000,000,000,000 according to scientists (1 in 400 trillion). Pretty low odds yet you beat them...

I'm thinking but I don't know what you mean by "who wants it?" Who wants what?

Well guys interesting stuff huh..

I think about that too. But I also sometimes think about the chances of being born a human instead of some other species.

This breaks the whole alternate universe twin thing for me in sci-fi. Literally if you had the same parents and they picked a different day or even millisecond to do the sexy time you would look like a sibling not some exact twin of yourself. Unless the split in timelines happened after you were born there would be a totally different person in place of you even if that person had the same two parents.

This effect actually does protect most species from massive radiation damage like space events or nuclear weapons being detonated though. A much larger % of sperm are derpy after something like that but those little dudes all lose the race so the next generation isn't born fucked up just the generation that suffered the radiation.

I am therefore I think too much

Hmm guys
