(March 14, 2015 at 5:15 pm)rasetsu Wrote: The continuity would be in the set of things that make up the self, not the instantaneous values. For instance, if I've been practicing law for 30 years, I might consider myself a lawyer. However if I'd retired from practice 10 years ago, I'd say that I'm no longer a lawyer; I'm retired. The qualities that make up the self don't change, but the contents of those qualities do.
Mybold

Then the unchanging things in self are
"The qualities that make up the self"
Roll for:
Strength
Dexterity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma

and the values instanced for each abstraction are the changing things (in self?)
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
