Well, actually these strangely "contingent" conditions are what leads to 
discussions of the "everything" sort - here, we want to explain these 
contingents also (or say why they are not explainable).

Also, in standard cosmology you have the problem of duplicate "yous" in 
remote parts of the infinite universe. Again, you have the indetermincy 
problem - here maybe even without turing emulable minds.

It depends if you believe in duplication or unity of conscious experience.

Cheers,
Günther
