So, like, either we're super, super special or, like, sure, there probably are... Why wouldn't there be life somewhere else?

What are the initial conditions for where we are so special?

I think that, you know, people who study, like... I don't do this myself, but, like, there's some... The fact that you haven't interacted with them gives you some bounds on how common it can be or, like, whether they need to be, like, in some environment where you can have water or all those types of fun things.

But, sure, I think that...

Like, I mean, unless, and I mean, the funny thing is it's called tension with religion stuff too.

Like, I think there's no reason to think you're special unless there is a reason that you're special.

And so modding out by maybe the prior being, like we're probably not special, would tell you, sure, there's some, something like an alien somewhere.

Will you ever interact with it?

You don't know.

But I don't believe in like necessarily, like I definitely, like I wish that we had talked to aliens.

That'd be fucking cool.

Like, nevermind.

Oh, that's hard.

I mean, yeah, but I don't want to say it.

That's mean to say that people don't believe what you see type of thing.

Because I'm saying I wish if it weren't bullshit, wouldn't that be more fun?

I think what I'm saying is I wish things were as cool.

All these conspiracy theories make it seem like there's much more structure in organization than there is.

I mean, just like, I mean, maybe.

I'm with you.
