Who is alexandra_k?
And who is [insert real name here]?They do not share all of the same properties and thus by the law of identity they cannot be the same.
But that still doesn't answer the question, who are we?
'Superman can fly' is true
'Clarke Kent can fly' is false.
So Superman cannot be Clarke Kent.
But they could both be parts of some greater whole.
A greater whole who flies at times and does not fly at other times.Is that what it is like?
The greater whole is the sum of the physical body,
But different identities can be different aspects
Of the greater whole.I refuse to get bogged down in the personal identity literature of the 60's and 70's.
But the question remains:
Who am I?
Who are we all?
