--> '''Isaac:''' And really, in all that vast space in the sky, who would even notice if a star like ours just flickered out one day, let alone care if one tiny person in one tiny town on one tiny world around that sun disappeared? Of course, the answer to that is that a lot of folks ''would'' notice if you disappeared, and as we grow in numbers and technology, toward a trillion and even beyond, that will only increase, not decrease. If you're alive, hearing this now, then in my opinion you have a better than 50/50 chance of having your name remembered and recorded until this bright star we live around burns out, and all you need to do to stand out is find something you love and pursue it, and in the future this will only be easier. And even if our sun is only one in countless trillions in the vast, empty sea of the night, that doesn't mean it shines any less bright.

* It should be noted that all of Isaac Arthur's videos have a dose of optimism and belief that things can get better with technology. In a world with MegaCorp trying to control people, climate change and media fearmongering new technology it is nice to see a person saying, in a realistic manner, about the optimistic changes technology can bring.
