    The scale of the world is crazy, and we are already giants in it.

    “What would it feel like to rule over a vast empire composed of literally billions of cells?”

    Yeah, ask yourself.

      Try literally trillions. Billions is literally several orders of magnitude less than reality.

      Again, most people literally cannot fathom the scales. Not as an insult, but to point out the literal scale. (god I’m such a millenial with all those ‘literals’, but it’s true…)
