You make very solid points, and I myself have had those thoughts as well.

It even supports the argument that we maybe in a simulated reality, simply because we are born (and had become conscious ) at the right time. We can say that lots of people have had very hard life 200 to 20,000 years ago, but who's to say they are real? The only one thing you know is that you are real and that you are conscious. Are you for certain that you were born lucky or were you born exactly at the right time because it was meant to be and that because this is a simulated world and you are a player who is conscious and everybody that lived before us or even me is just a simulation that you were meant to interact with. I know for sure I am conscious and I'm damn lucky to have lived in this moment of time or am I really just lucky? I'll leave it at that., but this was definitely a great read.
