“My own view is that the universe is just this swirling mass of atoms, forming clumps of various kinds of things, and then having those clumps dissolve or break apart. Most of those atoms don’t get to be alive at all. Most of those atoms don’t get to be a person, falling in love, seeing sunsets, eating ice cream. It’s extraordinarily lucky of us to be in this select, fortunate few” – Shelly Kagan
