Defined by Governments
Different governments track define me as an unique number with unique schemas in the given population set. For instance:
- Per USCIS, I am defined as per my alien number which goes something like (e.g., A123456789)
- Per Indian Govt, I am defined by my AADHAAR number.
Defined by my dog
This is my dog cosmo.
Here is a spectrogram image of my dog's barking when I asked him on how he would define me. Wish I could read this, but I hope he had some nice words to say.
Defined by "human number"
This is a fun mental exercise! Estimating my "human number" i.e the cumulative count of all humans born before me. Talking to Claude and doing a bit of back handed math, this is what I arrived at
Demographers at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) have estimated the total number of humans ever born throughout history. The calculation involves:
- Defining "human" , typically anatomically modern Homo sapiens, starting around 50,000–200,000 years ago.
- Estimating population and birth rates across historical eras (prehistoric, ancient, medieval, modern)
- Summing all births up to my birthdate
So my estimate is as follow
By REDACTED, the cumulative number of humans ever born was approximately:
~105–106 billion
Here's the rough breakdown:
- By 1995, PRB estimated about 105 billion humans had ever been born
- In the late 1990s, global births were around 130–135 million per year
- From Jan 1995 to
REDACTED: roughly 480 million more births
So I'm somewhere around human #105.5 billion +/- few hundred million.
