nonethefewerTacit: Can you really prove that you are you, though? I mean, really?
Xtina: Depending on what philosopher you read, I am the only real person in the universe, there is no single "me" to respond to this, or there's no cohesive "me" to respond to this.
Xtina: So I'm not sure!
Xtina: I can prove I am me right now. I am not the me who started this conversation, although we have a lot in common. If I were to be more non-social than social, then that would be a different aspect of me, so you could argue that we would be different people entirely.
Xtina: And if I accept as true that I am myself, then I am the one giving anything meaning in this world, from disasters to the shapes of these letters, and so not only am I me, you are only you because of me.
Xtina: Depends on the hour, really.
Tacit: *blink*
Xtina: You asked. :)
Tacit: I did, it's true.
