If that were true, they aren't other things at all. Just more of yourself, more of the same thing. If they are things, if things even exist.
That's phenomenal reality as opposed to noumenal reality.
The world of phenomena, also known as--

--is the only world science has to presuppose. Science works phenomenologically.
It's really all just one noumenal reality and thing-in-itself that is all one and connected.... but the aspects to that reality that is phenomenal are the only aspects that ever do, can and will matter to us.... because all we can ever care about is what we can experience. And the phenomenal world, Lifeworld, is by definition all we can ever experience.
My bold.
