- neuronic 1y agoIn the scale of the universe this is bound to happen, likely infinite times anyway and this is what feels rather weird to me. Not just the perceived "special circumstances" but that independent of the rarity it will still happen many many times and then any conscious lifeform developing technology to realize this be subject to the definition of survivorship bias.
