Quote context

[...]

- Most people talk about past lives and things like that.

- You know, and even if they don't believe it in some specific way, people have some kind of notion of an eternal soul, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay. Well, this was my thought. 50,000 years ago, there were not even a million people on the planet.

- 10,000 years ago, there's, like, two million people on the planet.

- Now there's between five and six billion people on the planet.

- Now, if we all have our own individual, unique soul, where do they all come from?

- Are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? 'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000-to-1 split of each soul in just the last 50,000 years, which is like a blip in the earth's time.

- So at best, we're like these tiny fractions of people walking...

- Is that why we're so scattered? Is that why we're all so specialized?

- Wait a minute. I'm not sure... I don't agree...

- I know, I know. It's a totally scattered thought. Which is kinda why it makes sense, you know?

- I agree with you.
