I can't wrap my head around this
June 13, 2014 at 6:50 pm (This post was last modified: June 13, 2014 at 6:51 pm by Tea Earl Grey Hot.)
The question whose answer eludes and perplexes me the most is "why am I me and not somebody else?" Why is my state of consciousness that of being a male born in 1990 rather than say a woman in china 4000 years ago or an alien in another part of the universe? For all I know I could have been a turtle but I'm not. I'm me!

Why?!

Does anybody else wonder this?

Does this make any sense?!
