Compared to the Universe, Humans are like ants on a floating ball of dirt, and we are all tryna convince ourselves were better than the next ant. I bet there's civilisations out there travelling through space and time, probably so advanced they would be considered immortal gods to us. And when they see these hairless apes killing each other over petty shyt like religion and race, I bet they'll consider us not much better than primitive animals
Eventually everyone has to face the fact that we are all insignificant

The Great Filter
It’s a theory about why the universe seems so filled with potential for life and yet we haven’t found it. It states that somewhere between pre-life and an advanced civilization that is capable of colonizing the stars, there’s a Great Filter that stops them and ends life. This means humans fit into one of these three scenarios: -We’re rare, meaning we’ve already passed the Great Filter, unlike other civilizations on other planets. -We’re the first, meaning conditions in the universe are only now life friendly and we’re among many on our way to the capability of colonization. -We haven’t hit the Filter yet, meaning we are fukked. If this one is true, it means finding life or proof of life on Mars or Europa would be awful news because it would almost certainly mean the Filter is still ahead of us instead of behind us.

So your telling me when we die the world continues to operate and besides our friends and loved ones no one will give a damn?
Way I see it is nobody is better than anyone else. We might not be insignificant compared to others but we all the same. I don't know whether intelligent life exists out there or not but yeah they could be more advanced than us. That's why I see no point in fighting over dumb shyt.

Well, You're looking at it backwards. The universe knows we're watching it, and it It organizes itself for us to observe and measure it (and make predictions). So I don't think we're insignificant at all. Hell, there is really no "we're" because all is I.

without googling most people cant even name 50 people who lived two hundred years ago, when you die minus your social media account and a few close friends or loved ones who may remember you until you just become a distant memory no one will give a damn.
