"I happen to be in the PERFECT location relative to the Kenneth
Udut of 2003 to reconstruct the Kenneth Udut of 2003." I try to
apply relativistic sensibilities with everything whenever
possible. It's a change in outlook. For example, is Kenneth Udut
on January 6, 2015 the same as Kenneth Udut January 6, 2003? No.
We're different people.. Quite physically different
compositions. Nothing's the same. Yet the copies of myself of
which I am is still me but it's a different me. Ship of Theseus.
My interests in 2003 were different. My thought patterns were
different. Yet, a lot carries over from copy to copy of myself.,
enough where THAT Kenneth Udut might as well be considered THIS
Kenneth Udut. This is how I view the world. Perspective (space
and time location, circumstance) all those things matter to me.
We have histories. Memories, Documentation. Videos. Can I go
back and touch Kenneth Udut of 2003? At present? No. Ever? Don't
know although likely not. Still open though. But I can
reconstruct him through enough information. I happen to be in
the PERFECT location relative to the Kenneth Udut of 2003 to
reconstruct the Kenneth Udut of 2003. Will it BE him physically?
No. But, can I reconstruct the thought paterns of Kenneth Udut
of 2003? Yes I can. In fact, so can other people, if they knew
me well enough back then. Its not a physical reconstruction but
it's still a reconstruction, just as I an physically and
mentally an ongoing reconstruction of my past me's and as this
me passes on in the next moments of existence - even the 'me'
that existed when I started this message is gone - there's more
than enough for me to bring back the 'me' at the beginning of
this message to continue "as if" I'm still him. Is it a fiction?
Sure. But it's a close-enough-to-fact fiction that one day say:
Kenneth Udut was born Jan 28, 1972 and is alive as of Jan 6,
2015, EVEN IF the physical Kenneth Udut at birth has been
replaced by thousands of self-copies. == and I want to thank you
for the challenges you provided: it helped me produce what I
wrote, which I've saved elsewhere as well. I *think of*
existence this way, but I don't usually talk about it in such
detail normally. Now that I have, I can do so again. I've... ok,
I can' t say evolved.... I've - progressed? Hm... no no... I've
gained more conceptual metaphors to apply in future
conversations. There smile emoticon
