Isn't there a major problem here with the word "you" here? To whom or
what is it referring?
If it is asking "Why did you, Brent, a man born in the 20th century,
find yourself born in the 20th century?", then the answer is obvious;
it's like asking why is twelve twelve, and not a thousand. You're not
picking a number randomly when you ask "Why is twelve twelve?" -
you're picking twelve.
The target of your question (Brent) indeed lives at a time with a
relatively small number of observers - if you want to talk about how
things are in the future, maybe you should ask someone in the future...
