Exploring Perspectives on the Universe
Charlie
I think you're missing the big picture.
Kip
What big picture?
Charlie
The universe.
Kip
What about the universe?
Charlie
Well, the universe is a pretty big place.
Kip
Yeah. It's infinite, theoretically.
Charlie
Right, which means there's probably life on other planets.
Kip
Not life like we think, but yeah. Probably at least single-cell organisms.
Charlie
Well, see, that's my whole point. I mean you could've been born a single cell organism on the planet Zortex. In fact, given the odds, it's probably more likely, but you weren't. You we're born a human being. And not just any human being in the history of human beings, but a human being that gets to be alive today. That gets to listen to all kinds of music, that gets to eat food from every culture, that gets to download porn off the internet. So really, you have everything to live for. Do you feel better?
[pause]
Kip
Not really.
