    Are you really equating us to bacteria? And the other guy, a kebab? Do I even have to say anything else?

      There’s no more meaning to our life than a bacterias, we are only special to ourselves, a higher life form could consider us as nothing but bacteria from their perspective.

        Philosophical, existential, meaning-searching “bacteria” is not the same as actual bacteria, right? Lol. But +1 for being civil!

          How do you know bacteria isn’t searching for meaning, the problem with human centered thinking is that we can only define consciousness in terms of our own, cause that’s all we know and understand, doesn’t mean ours is the only way.
