I have never wrestled with continuity of the self because I always thought of my self as a perspective. “I” am the unavoidable result of experiencing my unique collection of sensory inputs, chemical interactions, absorbed information/symbols, and memories of all the above: an inescapable consequence of how my biology interacts with reality.
So, thank you for sharing your perspective in such detailed free-flow. It is appreciated.
Hoo boy, you have officially articulated a similar reason why I increasingly don’t want to write in a public facing way anymore; because it takes a certain expected confidence in what I’m writing as “true.” Guess I gotta just be okay with the fact I’ll probably have changed my mind or clarified some things I once wrote, by the time it’s been posted for, like, a week? If that?🤣

Yeah, it's messy.
Real is often messy. Messy can be good.
