Arguably there is no John Clark as a single entity persisting in time, since even in a single world with no duplication, time travel or other anomalies both your hardware and your software changes; for example, you have very little in common with your one year old self. Nevertheless, you feel that you are the same person from day to day and year to year, even if you know this is an illusion. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
