The Statistical Impossibility of You

[@Crospic]

Underrated video. Thought-provoking. More should watch!

Thanks. I completely forgot I made this video until recently. Haha

I feel like we should take into account our survivorship bias here

That's certainly another possible explanation. One cannot even pose this as an apparent paradox if they never existed, after all.

Here’s an interesting quote I stumbled upon that’s somewhat relevant to this video: “I would simply say that just as a monkey can't understand quantum theory or newtonian physics, there is no particular reason why the human brain should be evolved to be well matched to understanding the deepest aspects of reality." - Martin Rees

statistics and probabilities do not exist... they simply explain and distill the unpredictable. in reality there was a 100% chance i was born, or exist, or that the world exists, or a coin flip. the universe is wholly determinist, infinite causality. everything will always happen.
