Unfortunately, due to a faulty encoding process and playback error, the people we become can be radically different from the people we could be.<BR/><BR/>When we met I told you not to watch the movie <I>The Final Cut</I> with Robin Williams, but I just now remembered that there is an important scene in which something traumatic happens to young RW, but he misremembered it and it effected his adult personality.<BR/><BR/>You still shouldn't waste your time on the flick though...but I digress.<BR/><BR/>The people we are are chemical in nature. We are suspended in a tidal matrix of emotions. While we stitch together our own momentular self continutity, it's an illusion because pre-coffee, and post coffee Mac are two very different emotional, intellectual entities. Each would react differently to a similar set of events. Yet you know them to be "you".<BR/><BR/>Self in a chip: Unless you can simulate the tides of chemical you, you will only be a movie. And I hope it's a better one than that awful <I>Final Cut</I> one.platts42https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086882674873049929noreply@blogger.com
