Think of it: You are sitting over there reading this, with *your own* self forged in a complex process. The probabilities that the person who experiences this \"illusion of the self\" would be someone else and not \"you\" are overwhelming. Still, it is \"you\" sitting there and experiencing \"the illusion of the self\", on planet Earth, in the 21st century of all centuries. The lottery is back, along with Descartes' \"I think therefore I am\".
[Lucifer] You lost me there. The probability of me sitting here reading this is 1.0. The odds of me being in another century are zero because if I was it wouldn't be me. I know I must be misunderstanding your intent so perhaps you could explain?
