There's no "me" in TURTLE

[Losty]

Can anyone answer why I'm me.....and not a turtle?

By what method of determination do you experience existence separate from turtle experience; more to the point, what determined both my and the turtle's particular experiences and could one have been shunt in place of another (by what alternate means could turtle have experienced existence through my perspective or vice versa)?

Why at the market or the zoo, why this morning...why not exist a thousand years from now or deep in the ocean?

Can this ever be coherently approached or determined materialistically/scientifically? Or, is the true question "why is there no turtle in me?"

That's not what I've heard.

I'm going with the tonylang quantum entanglement theory. You have/had turtle in you and you have/have been in turtle, you just don't know it consciously. The truth is it's probably been more than once. It may be continuous. Knowing this might be delightful or disturbing.

Good question.

I await a good atheist answer. (Good luck with that.)

I am in you and we aren't separate.

"why is there no turtle in me?"

Because of the Atlantic?

[Edwardo Piet]

I pacifically don't know what you're specifically talking about, Squishy.

[Edwardo Piet]

Or, is the true question "why is there no turtle in me?"

Yes.

[Edwardo Piet]

WHY OH WHY.

[Edwardo Piet]

I'll make you purr.

I think the alternative method for turtle to experience existence through my perspective involves a strap on. I'm not actually sure how turtle feels about that....
