That is a perfect example right there of ambiguity in action. Bruno Marchal is unable to write more than a few dozen words about the philosophy of personal identity without slipping in one of those damn personal pronouns and assuming the very thing the "proof" is supposed to establish. If John Clark is wrong about that then prove that John Clark is wrong by simply stop using personal pronouns. > > The "1-I" is never ambiguous It's like a burp, it's never anything. If a gun was placed at John Clark's head John Clark could not coherently explain what the hell the "1-I" is, and neither could Bruno Marchal. > > > we have agreed that both are the Helsinki person > Yes. > > > > If not, you are claiming implicitly that you die at step 3. > GODDAMN PERSONAL PRONOUNS!
