>Out of all the possible dumb material in the Universe you

nope because it would be considered ignoring your existence which is what culture promotes

I think the implication of "you happen to" in each line is where this gets tangled up. That "we" "happen to" be human implies "we" occupy something before we are born.

>out of all the conscious animals throughout all the billion years of life in Earths history you happen to be born as the only one ever capable of reflecting on this fact
So what, did "I" just barely miss the window to becoming a fish in the Triassic Era or something?

My answer to your question is no, science does not reconcile with this spiritual mumbo jumbo bullshit. If you can believe that anything that can happen will happen given infinite time, than all there needs to be is a >0 % chance of you happening regardless of how unfathomable of a fluke it may be. A process that results in an awakening consciousness able to differentiate between itself and everything else is at the heart of your capacity to reflect on these facts. It was never a matter of "what are the odds!" that you are you and not something else. That the odds ever existed in the first place is all that matters

you are "special" because you have to be that way. sentient experience only exists for those who were born with the ability to experience it.

no one is calling human experience a fluke. all of biological progression on earth up to this point occurred because of how it specifically happened. it's possible that biological sentience could have developed with another species besides humans (even a species which stems from something very different from primates, though it would probably be a mammal), and it is possible that the earth could have never been home to a sentient endemic species. these things didn't happen and the human species happened.

Lottery fallacy

>implying there is a (you)

Dualist faggots need to get out of this board

It isn't a fluke. We have always existed, and all exist for a reason which is to reflect on the universe.

>>9127208
Sounds like an inevitability not a fluke.

You can't just put fallacy after a word and think that makes it an actual fallacy

>>9127208
ignoring the fallacies
yes synergy complexity emergence, adaptive behavior self organization abiogenisis/biosemiotics evolution.
life on earth is a perduring process of which all life manifests from. we are all the same thing nested in life and immortal

>>9128551
You can't just assume it's not a fallacy when you could have just looked it up and found that it is.

>>9127208
Yes.
If the universe is alive and connected by some conscious or basic living force then it is likely that that force once well understood is the fundamental birthing point for a structured organism that can interpret and manipulate existence.

>>9127208
That's beautiful. This is beautiful.

It also may be false. I now inquire if we do not create the entire universe from within. What if our very act of consciousness creates all that is around us. Within each of us is our own projections of the universe. When you die, so does your whole universe and everything and everyone else within it.

Please don't die, I want to live.

You happen to live in the universe where the vacuum energy does not curve spacetime, balancing the forces of negative and positive pressure.

Can science explain how is this possible?

You, are outnumbered in your own body 10 to 1. Most of your biology is not a human cell, but a simbiotic creature using you as a host/home.

It's true.

Why weren't you born an alien? If you could talk to non-conscious animals they would ask you, how could I have been born like this... therefore making them conscious. They don't fill up our culture mind space with their questions, so they don't exist, so they are not conscious. Here we are able to communicate and ponder all of this. If I was an animal, I wouldn't be asking these questions. Therefore, point is moot.
