Ya I guess you are right, I've felt it but never looked it up

There reason there is something instead of nothing is survivorship bias. Since nothing is nothing, including no time, there will ALWAYS be something because nothing can't exist outside of something.

This particular flavour of survivorship bias is also called the anthropic principle

So, nothing doesn't exist?

What is everywhere, then?

Nothing.

Ok, but why is there something to experience survivorship bias? Why is any of this at all instead of just not anything?

Honestly the only way to make sense of any of this that I have ever found is panpsychism, Advaita Vedanta etc.

This is all just a “dream” or non-computational “simulation”. Everything is consciousness. Physics is an emergent feature of consciousness.

Yes of course. Its just that, when that happens, all the atoms start falling apart, or clumping together.

Things that weren't radioactive before? Now they are. Iron in your blood? Radioactive.

This is, of course, sub-optimal.
