We all won the lottery
« on: March 20, 2009, 08:04:39 AM »
Just the other week i had a thought. Every human that has ever lived already won the lottery. We all beat millions of other sperm to that egg. The chances of any of us making it first and coming into existance are so fine they compare to winning the jackpot in a lottery draw.

I just thought i would share that.


Of course there is another way of looking at it....we are all the most powerfull, ruthless, selfish and dangerous of a batch of millions of sperm. Seeing as ultimate domination and securing one's own future is the prime goal of life in all forms this seems more likely. It's up to you which version you agree with.

The third and even more likely version which confirms the 'lotto winner' theory is that all the sperm in that batch were equally strong and selfish, but you had the winning ticket.

No, i'm not high, but i may have been when i thought about it.

Now thanks to genetic engineering we can soon select the sperm and the egg with the genes WE WANT to merge.  Scary thought!!! :uhoh

Interesting.

 So that would mean the other sperm let us win. So surely the sperm that took life when the oppertunity was there, even though it would kill everyone else, was the least compassionate and most self centered.

Sperm 1 - "After you, kind sir, i'll poke through the next one."

Sperm 2- " Why thank you, don't mind if i do..... by the way, there is no next one, your gonna die sucker!"   Poke.

Looking at some of the people in here and more so in the Flamewarriors forum, fertilizing the egg was the last thing they have done that had any consequence.
