How many billions of people have we got? It seems like the universe is very good at scaling.

And even if it crashes, why would that mean it disappears? If your computer crashes, does it typically stop working forever, or can you fix it?

For all we know, maybe it already crashes a lot and there is just no way for us to know about it.

If your data is in memory only, crashing will revert to the latest save, which could be forever ago.

But you wouldn’t know right?

Nope

It could have happened a dozen times already.

That's why you walked into the room and forgot why you came in there.

That would require data to be saved.

If any such thing happened, it would be seemless.
