The self is these psychological connections that we have. So just the notion that it can be a degree is something that like I think is an interesting and different way of thinking about than I have thought about it. It's because all of our experiences in the real world bolster this notion of token, I met a physical token identity over time in a way that never leads me to question it. And then at some point it becomes unreasonable. Because you really have so little.
Tamler’s earlier self committed to doing an episode on Parfit, and David holds his current self to that promise, which shows how unconvinced David was by Parfit’s skepticism about personal identity. Or something like that. We argue about the value of Parfit’s sci-fi thought experiments and the implications of believing there’s no clear sense of “me.” Plus, we talk about a recent article on aphantasia – the inability to conjure images in your mind – and the question that pops into everyone’s head when they hear about this condition.
