7 Billion & Me

7 Billion & Me
How does the world's population reaching 7 billion affect you?

BBC News has an economy-sized, but no less interesting, version:

The world at seven billion

Apparently, on the day I was born I was the 3,635,050,371st person alive on the Earth - the 77,734,489,198th person to have lived "since history began".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I feel more worthless and insignificant than yesterday.

If I keep this up I may cause ego-death.
