Can you imagine how alone and frightened and existentially horrified we'd be (moreso) if we were born into a universe where we were the only human (and we procreated only once a lifetime as an asexual organism - and then our parent died during birth so we'd never talk to it). That'd be fucked. We're lucky to live in a world with so many other organisms like us to communicate with.

It wouldn't be that bad because we'd lack a language to contextualize our existential crisis. Or maybe it'd be that much worse because of that. Not knowing a language leads to significant cognitive impairment though (see: deaf people before sign language) so maybe we'd be too impaired to care or understand just how shitty our lot in life was.

Doubt it would make much difference to me
I'm surrounded by millions of people, but still I'm alone
