+135 Something is not amazing simply because it's not likely to happen. Let's say a pencil tip has exactly 4.78256 x 10 ^ 40 atoms in it. It's unlikely that it would have that exact number of atoms, but that doesn't make it special. Similarly, it's extremely unlikely for a particular sperm to impregnate a particular egg, but that doesn't mean every person on Earth is amazing and special, amirite?

My mom thinks I'm amazing and special.

I'm so tired of hearing that... I'M AVERAGE. WE ARE NOT ALL SPECIAL. IF WE WERE, NO ONE WOULD BE SPECIAL! People just need to shut up and live their lives without worrying that they're important. You can live a great life without being famous or getting any kind of validation.

In my religious school, one of the speakers' favorite thongs to say is "you are a champion sperm" as a way of telling people they are special. They think that they will get through to us because they talk about sperm, but I think they just sound retarded and tune them out.

I feel like there could've been a simpler way to word this statement.

Yeah, I struggled with a good way to phrase it. I don't like making overlong posts. How might you have phrased it?

hm, probably start with something like 'something is not amazing simply because the odds of it happening are slim' and then like 'for example, it's extremely unlikely for a particular sperm....' maybe something along those lines
