Man, I think about that all the time. We aren’t even a drop in the bucket, not a blip in the history of the universe. To me that makes life immeasurably precious. We get to experience and explore a small moment of infinite vastness
It’s not really possible with our minds.
Much like with numbers, anything beyond small numbers/points our minds just turn into representative idea (a meme) which we tend to perceive on a logarithmic scale (like how people tend to think a thousand, a million, and a billion are apart by about the same-ih or only a bit differently). Thats even how our biosensory bits work, along with how we interpret/perceive information from them.
It’s great for achieving practical stuff, but it’s not real.
i can never comprehend these
You’re nothing and nothing matters and that’s ok. It’s beautiful.
the scale is absurd for my monkey brain

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Spatially small =/= doesn’t matter. You can’t just jump from physical characteristics to values like that. What happened to being scientific?

Yes, and you are very correct.
