:23:01
Is that all?
:23:02
Well, there's a lot of things, really.
:23:05
-So its my turn.
-Okay

:23:07
You're going to answer
:23:09
Yes, I'll answer.
:23:10
Ah, what's a problem for you?
:23:12
You, probably.
:23:13
What?
:23:15
Um, No, Alright, I had a thought the other day
that was kind of, a, qualifies as a problem

:23:20
What is it?
:23:22
Well, it was a thought I had on the train, so.... Um...
okay, alright. Um, Do you believe in reincarnation?

:23:28
Yeah, yeah, its interesting.
:23:30
Most people, you know, a lot of people talk about the past lives,
and things like that,

:23:34
you know, and even if they don't believe in it in some specific way,
:23:38
you know, people have some kind of notion of an eternal soul, right.
-Yeah

:23:41
Okay. Well, this is my thought. 50,000 years ago,
:23:44
there are not even a million people on the planet
:23:47
10,000 years ago, there's like 2,000,000 people on the planet.
Now, there's between 5 and 6 billion people on the planet, right?

:23:54
Now, if we all have our own, like, individual,
unique soul, right, where do they all come from?

:24:01
Are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls?
:24:05
Because if they are, that represents a 5,000-to-1
split of each soul in just the last 50,000 years

:24:10
which is like a blip in the earth's time.
:24:12
You know, so, at best, we're like these tiny
fractions of people, you know, walking...

:24:18
I mean, is that why we're all so scattered?
:24:20
Y'know, Is that why we're all so specialized?
:24:22
-Wait a minute, I'm not sure I .. I don't....
-Hang on, I know, I know, its a totally scattered thought,

:24:28
-which is kind of why it makes sense.
-Yeah... I agree with you.

:24:33
Let's get off this damn tram
