I think it's perfectly possible that he picks and chooses different people out of different times from a limited universe. That kind of makes him like God too. Even if he's not, it still makes sense that he'd like, be able to know about all of us. To be omniscient and omnipotent. Letting us play out our own problems and just watching. For all we know, we're justifying the existence of humanity.
The floods always help. If there weren't any floods, people would just do the same thing day after day and they wouldn't be able to get over anything. Routine is what hurts growth and progress and all those other things that we're supposed to be working toward. Floods make people think, good or bad. I mean, yeah, they're totally traumatizing half the time, but how else would people seek out comfort and the necessary social ties that help people mature? It just doesn't make sense not to have them.
