Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. How was I born me and not another?
RE: Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. How was I born me and not another?
Fashionably late to the party and not caught up on the thread, but...

@OP, to me your question seems to come from the misunderstanding that there is some nebulous 'me' floating around waiting to become something, be it a rock or a human being. Meanwhile all our observations would lead us to the conclusion that what you call 'me' is a byproduct of the functioning human brain. You didn't come to be this, you came to be because of it and since rocks are, afaik, incapable of consciousness, it's rather obvious why you - a consciousness - are not a rock.

PS. your username is serioisly perfect material for a band/album/song name. Fuckin rad man Big Grin
