How "reincarnation" might work?
#23
RE: How "reincarnation" might work?
Ignoramus: why?

Ben Davis: Actually both people can be you at the same time. Saying that “two people can’t be the same person at the same time” is a proof of the importance of continuity is circular reasoning.

People are defined by Continuity because…

one people can’t be in two bodies at the same time because…

People are defined by Continuity
 
  The fact that they are in two separate bodies just isn’t as important as people think. Consider copies of books. All of the copies of the “catcher in the rye” are one book.
Clones would of course become more different as time passes and less the same person.

Rhythm: Thanks...  I think.
