Here we are, like mites on a plum. And the plum is this little planet and it goes around an insignificant local star, the sun.
And that star is on the obscure outskirts of an ordinary galaxy, the milky way, which contains 400 billion other stars.
And this galaxy is just one of something like 100 billion other galaxies that make up the universe.
And it is now beginning to look, this universe is one of an enormous number, maybe even an infinite number, of other closed off universes.
So the idea that we are central, that we are the reason there is a universe is… pathetic.
We have to simply come to grips with the real universe that we really live in. And if some of our myth and some of our religion is inconsistent with it, it's time to change the myth and the religion.
Dear Theists
Before you take it upon yourselves to tell me that I have no morals and will burn in hell for not believing in your god, please do me one favour.
Go outside on a clear night, look up at your god's heavens and take a moment to estimate the vastness of our solar system orbiting a single star.
Now imagine that our Sun is but one of millions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Then, consider that our galaxy is one of billions, in a universe that's billions of light years across.
When you have done this, you will have come close to comprehending the enormity of the fuck I could not give for your archaic, bigoted and infantile opinions about creation and how I should live my life.

I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life
