I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there's humans that have just .... left the planet. Thats insane.

Thanks for the last sentence, I feared it might build up to this ๐Ÿ˜

I'd say in this old question "are we bodies or do we have bodies?" It's the prior. Deduct your ability to question your existence and...you just do. A tardigrade does have that spark of life too. But what is it? Nothing special I'd argue. Us speculating about this is just the epitome of that spark. A gift, a curse (looking at how our species acts, I'd say the latter)...but just something that happened and multiplicated successfully.
