Those suffering from multiple personality syndrome have more than one "I" or is it the same? Computer programs capable of holding conversation with you can properly use the word "I" with any real meaning? | |
| Jun 28, 2011 at 18:33 | comment | added | smartcaveman | Can you substantiate your statement, "Recent experiments and observations of people with brain injuries very clearly show that our concept of identity is largely a simulation"? I have not heard of these experiments, but the idea is very interesting to me. | |

| Jun 7, 2011 at 22:21 | comment | added | Jez | So really, to be necessarily true, the sentence must be expanded to, "I experience something ergo something exists." :-) | |
