Hi all!

Ok. if the true self is either your beliefs and your critical thinking AND/OR your emotions and desires does that mean that a clone with either your beliefs and your critical thinking AND/OR your emotions and desires would also be your true self?

We better hope so if there is ever to be human teleportation.

Seriously though, I would have to answer no for the 'privileged access' reason I gave in post #5. I think there is an argument for your conclusion, but only at the instant the clone is created. From there on it is unavoidable that experiences diverge and that there are two unique selves regardless of their similarities.
