I wonder how many amazing technologies dont exist, because like the Einstein that would have figured them out got hit by a bus.
Like, it's kind of crazy to think that randomly 40 years ago someone could have invented fusion, just like randomly 80 years ago someone invented a nuke.
I wonder like, how much of a species evolutionary destiny, is driven by pure random luck like that.
Like, if we had invented fusion 40 years ago, what would life be like today? maybe there'd be no conflicts, maybe there would be new ones, either way, the species that we would be evolving to become, would be drastically different than the one we are today.
So if one day, someone is like, "look put your brain in this box and you live forever"
Its fucked to think that, like, had a butterfly flapped his wings on a Tuesday 70 years earlier, this box wouldn't exist, and instead, something MUCH BETTER would.. and you should not put your brain in this shitty persons box.
Like, what a trip, our entire destiny is either by luck or design, but nothing in between.
crazy, and painful for me to think about drives me nuts!
