X-Message-Number: 14720 Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 23:04:58 +0200 From: Henri Kluytmans <> Subject: The Mind and Identity : Duplicates are Self Lee Corbin wrote a small essay about duplicate identities. Some comments on usage of the term "me" : I wouldnt say : "A copy of "me" is "me". However I do assume that our mind is an information process, and I consider a (partial) survival of my information process as (a same partial) *survival* of me. I include the word "partial" because in running states information processes can never be totally identical. Even when identical in a stopped state, they will diverge when running. But, for example a 99.99% survival, is quite acceptable to me. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=14720
