If you believe in reincarnation shouldn’t you expect to be reincarnated as a brain parasite or an odd slug somewhere in the distant galaxy? Like statistically… Or does it only apply to earth for some reason?

I have thought of a monadic theory of reincarnation.
A monad was vind by Leibniz as a particular individual being. This can be a human, animal, plant or even atom. All of these heb varient levels of consciousness. An atom can just sit somewhere in a piece of rock in the universe.
Of course atoms are day more numerous than more conscious brings. I like the idea that we could ‘reincarnate’ (as no meat is present in most of these) in many beings. But only very rarely one of higher consciousness.
That way your being a even low conscious being is very rare, even more so a being that can reflect on the natural world.
This way of thinking makes one more considerate towards other beings, as their time in this form is so rare and incredulous.
