Edit: Goddamnit will one of you please comprehend my question and give a relevant response.

I didn’t ask whether or not you think souls are real or what you think about Buddha

This is not a creative writing prompt nor a place for you to pontificate your religious ponderings! 🙄

    How do you get 5x10^17 attempts with the lifespan of the sun being 5x10^10 years?

    Regardless, they said everyone. They also said the best life possible. That postulates some absolute max for a person. Not some random criteria you can think of.

      Sorry, I did shower maths and that’s always a bad idea. Ignore that whole thing. What I was thinking made sense in one particular way, but not in the way I had intended, so it’s completely meaningless.

      On the criteria, the absolute maximum implies having a criteria and I just chose the assumption that essentially infinite money would give you the best chance of having “the best possible life.” I was just aiming for something order of magnitude so had to choose something arbitrarily.

      If you can even define the best possible life in a meaningful way, then I’d say it’s absolutely 0% chance because to me, a single day of winter ruins it.
