Do you think you were “lucky” not to be a mosquito?

Do you think you were “lucky” not to be a 100kg mass of disconnected plasma inside the sun?

This doesn’t make any sense. There are different processes in our universe that produce different things, from plasma to rocks to mosquitos to unsuccessful people to successful people.

These processes are different, and their outputs are not fungible. There’s no luck. There’s no sense in which “you” could have been anything except what you are.
