Since we became modern humans ~100,000 years ago, there have been roughly 100 billion humans.

Too many

>>2289038
Woah, are most of them still alive?

The maths are complicated, but an approach is the Riemanns integral using intervals of 120 years so as not to count repeated humans.

But the interpolation is hard, as theres no fucking way of knowing how the function was prior to the last two millenia. It could have been shallow during hundreds of centuries.

I've found this guesstimate of 108 billion (european billion, not burguer billion):

This means that theres no way in hell there are an unlimited number of souls. Therefore the soul either:
-Does not exist
-Exists but is recycled when death comes
-There exists only a single soul that is distributed among everyone.

There cant be an infinite number of souls simultaneously as this world is just a simulation and the computer that runs it has finite memory
(RAM is expensive even for the demiurge)

>wondered around for over 90,000 years without building or farming

how do people rationalise this narrative? not a rhetorical question

>>2291001
souls are just created as needed and as such are infinite

It doesn't matter, it's only me. I am you in the different lifetime. I am the world. I am God. The consciousness that realizes itself and burn through it's life and eventually, or rather, sometimes, on a very unfortunate instant, gets snuffed out, until it lights itself again in the same dancing flame. I am you, although there is no such thing, because I am.

Rationalise what? Tens of thousands of years of slow but steady technological innovation, leading to the "explosion" of domestication?

Everything else is just a soulless copy and not real hunam beaning

This little thing called the Ice Age that made grazing extremely polarized between seasons necessitating the nomads' hunter-gatherer lifestyle
