Not enough sleep in the last two days

Here's an idea: what if we are thinking too much of ourselves? What if the history of each human personality, from initial state to final state could be represented as a huge binary number? It would be a pretty damn good seed to use for generating pseudo-random numbers, wouldn't it? Maybe we're not god's version of televison; maybe we're just god's srand function for a software application of incomprenhensible size and unfathomable purpose.
