Now there's between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? 'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000 to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth's time.

Celine:

Jesse:
Yeah, hang on, hang on. It's a, it's a totally scattered thought. It...which is kind of why it makes sense.
