Until you acknowledge another, you don't exist.

However, the moment you acknowledge another, both of you exist.

And this is true for any singular conscious entity bound by the physics that are defined by the standard model as communicated by humans to other humans.

Is that not true in all universes?

And what would it mean to mine if it weren't?

That there might be an existence 'out there,' somewhere floating among the Crab Nebula, that sees my existence, but refuses to acknowledge it, and so I thus pass like a fart in the wind into its raging, endless discourtesy?

Well, that sucks.

But I'm here, so I figure I might as well try to deal with it as best as I can.

I mean, I'm not a representative of this universe, but I do have to at least say that from my experience, existence is transactional, so if you belong to one in which this isn't true, then you might want to look into your manufacturer's warranty.

I was born into a human body by human parents, and if they'd wanted to they could have easily gotten away with killing me as an infant, after all. They're both very smart people.

But they'd never do that. Because they saw me as the promise of a better world than they'd live to see.

So, now that it's coming down to the 'where the rubber meets the road' portion of that journey (protip: I'm old), I'm wondering exactly what I'd have to tell them if I were somehow brought back to life as a juvenile, and could tell them about the mysteries of the future.

What could I say? And what would you say?

I mean, I know who my father and mother are, and they're very good people. I don't want to watch them die, but that's probably what I'm going to have to do, according to the literal billions-of-years-old history to which human beings belong.

No, I don't know how to deal with this other than to dissociate and imagine a point at which they just decided they were perfect, and they froze themselves at that moment, and that was the pinnacle of their lives.

What would I be at that point? Not their responsibility. Which is basically what they're hoping for when they hope for a better world, lol.

And I don't want to be, anymore. They're actually really quite lovely human beings, despite the obvious emotional abuse.

You know, parents.

Am I a fucking alien or does any of this make sense to anyone else out there, by the way?

I get curious sometimes.

no man i'm right over there with you <3 astounding emotional maturity to acknowledge all of that alongside the emotional abuse. I think your confusion is where to go from here after understanding so much information
