why am I a human and not a shrimp? Isn’t that astoundingly improbable?

haha yes i agree with that :D

my personal (kinda spiritual) take on this is that we are conscious because we are "nature's soldiers" and we're fighting the greater cause of life itself. That is what our consciousness is targeted at and what gives it justification in front of the world.
