I think the more interesting point is, if say, the entire Universe as it presently is were to repeat itself at some future point, and this conversation were to occur again between two people with identical compositions in the exact same time and space, in precise proportionality to the rest of the Universe, say even, that at this very moment this re-occurrence is taking place, in what sense is it really meaningful to speak of these past or future selves of ours as actually us? I certainly feel no affinity to any other so-called past lives.
True. I don't feel any sort of affinity to any so-called past lives either. But I guess the point in which I trail off on the idea of the universe repeating itself, is because of it being my random life in the infinite future of a universe with exact compositions and proportions and so on, if I can't have any sort of affinity towards it, can I on some intrinsic level impact or affect that life somewhere in the infinite?
