The fact that we even exist is alone just mind blowing. Like what the fuck? Totally insane when you think about it.
Yeah, even a stupid cockroach is a miracle when you think about it. To think that even a bug has a brain and evolved from lifeless chemical compounds that somehow became automated and self replicating.
Now here we are. One of the few species with self awareness. I mean what the fuck is consciousness? How did we go from dirt to being self aware and being able to look back at the dirt we evolved from and figure out how it came to be?
It's like we are an extension of the universe observing itself. Maybe that's our ultimate purpose. The universe's means of observing itself through us.
If there are intelligent aliens, their brains may be wired so differently from us that we may not be able to relate to each other. They may have no concept of human emotions which are wired in out dna. They may have emotions that we can't understand. Logic that makes no sense to us but works for them. I'm dying to see what an alien civilization is like.
