The anthropic principle is all you need. We find ourselves on a timeline where we survived because we can’t find ourselves on one we didn’t.

At a certain point, I realized my choices were solipsism, deism, or autolatry. My dad raised me as a atheist secular materialist, and I was never allowed to read about Christianity. Out of curiosity, I read the gospels a few years ago and was shocked to discover that it was the best fit for my disposition at least. At first, I just LARPed it, but after a while I realized that I felt really good, and it got me out of lifelong dispair.

		At first the cognitive dissonance was real. But, eventually, I realized that it was the process of exercising and opening the "Nous". I'm neurodivergent so it is really awesome to outsource a large part of my thinking to a "Christ disciple" game loop. Lot less stress.
