  • For example, let’s say ten years ago someone took a picture of me and I demanded that this picture must not be shared or posted online. Now if ten years later I ask the photographer to send me the picture and I post it online, then the photographer and I broke the rules. I certainly did not get consent from my past self. So now the question of whether or not I am my past self comes up. Most people would probably say yes, but it’s still an interesting question.

    Interesting. I also wonder why people justify past selves as an identity of us even though we have changed or grew as person while our past selves have already dead.


  • I don’t think you quite understand what I’m trying to say.

    “Is the caterpillar dead because it became a butterfly?”

    The caterpillar IS the butterfly. Perhaps not as you know it, but change is the universal constant,

    How is this relevant? I’m talking from the first person perspective. Whether the caterpillar is dead or not depends on the person experiencing the consciousness of their own mind. From my perspectives, i think yes, the caterpillar is dead (it’s not really important because the caterpillar or butterfly isn’t conscious of itself).
