Do you think this is the best of all possible worlds?

Imagine an ordered list of worlds from the one where the most bad stuff happens to the one where the most good stuff happens.

Yes, it has to be.

Now, consider the entry with the most bad stuff. By virtue of its special position as the very worst, it's actually quite good for humans, because anyone init is simultaneously special and has an unlimited right to complain about life. So the worst world is not the worst world.

So we have to consider the next entry. Well, because we already eliminated the first entry as being the worst, this entry is now the worst. By virtue of that special position, it isn't so bad either

Iterate through the entire list and you eventually find that the only world left is the most full of good stuff and is in an exceptional position

In the list.

The only world that can exist without contradiction is also the best possible world.

Q.E.D.

But there are so many wars and plagues and famines.

Don't look at me. I didn't make the list.
