    Which is why I always interpret the mere concept of reincarnation as a product of our own selfish assumption that we as a species matter in the grander picture.

    As if we’re so important…

      And here I was thinking reincarnation was a among same species like if you’re born a titmouse you can only be reincarnated as another titmouse then again how would that work as evolution comes around like how much can a cardinal mutate before it’s no longer a cardinal

      We’re pretty important. Maybe not so much to some aliens 4 galaxies over, but we’re important to us and the reason is pretty much real magic. Qualia is a huge deal.
