I saw a post that said the odds of being born are 1 in 400 trillion.
Could someone could break this down or provide another number?
In: 0
Well, remember that probability only applies to things *that haven’t happened yet*.
The odds of you existing are 1. You exist. It happened. If you didn’t exist, then the odds of you existing would be 0: you don’t exist.
Also, consider the “somebody else” element: even if the odds of *you specifically* being born are something like 1 in 400 billion… the odds that *somebody else* would still be born and exist are probably pretty high.
