Knowledge... that is the assumption that one is correct. Yet we are so often wrong.
'Why' is a 'what' question. 'When' is a 'what' question. 'Where' is a what question. All questions are really asking 'what'. I tell you what it is not, for the reason that clearly you own such things as 'brain/body/soul', and especially 'delusion'.
Do you even know what you are asking when you wonder "For what reasons am I me?". I think your question should rather be, "What defines me?". More intriguing still... "Is what I have all that I am?".
A mod could surely lock the thread. But would that really be to the benefit of anyone?
I wonder
I think I understand the original question. Are you are asking why it is that you are the inhabitant of your own consciousness? What prevents you from being someone else's consciousness or being all consciousness's, or traveling from one to another? First I'll say that I'm not sure you would know if you traveled from one consciousness to the next because perhaps when you are in each you only have the knowledge of the present brain and therefore are not aware that you were previously in another consciousness, or being. I think this sounds scientifically hokey, but its an answer.
