Even if he missed the beginning it is clear from other scenes in the film that Brian is not Jesus, e.g. "blessed are the cheese makers". So the story is either apocryphal or Muggeridge only watch clips of the film.

What if we are AIs in a simulation? Unlikely perhaps but not impossible. In this case there is no body only mind and all options are open. There is also the theories that consciousness is all that exists, e.g. "Donald Hoffman's Mu

I don't know why this has been down voted. Would you buy a property with a 50 year lease?

Animals die for lots of reasons, e.g. famine, predation, disease, injury, fights for mates. I doubt aging is necessary to ensure death occurs.

What is the point? Is it that not eating meat will significantly reduce likelihood of catching an antibiotic resistant bug? Like I implied I doubt this is true. Or is it that the problem would be greatly reduced if everyone stopped eating m
