It doesn't matter what anyone 'likes'. It is not logically possible that one's sense identity is due to continuity of consciousness, because we observe that our own consciousness is discontinuous; and that nonetheless our sense of identity remains.
That's why I said I now have two arguments. And you seem to be acknowledging them both indirectly.
I cannot parse this. There are too many 'its', and 'somethings'; could you please re-phrase with some nouns for me?A because it doesn't 't show up in your physical account when comparing it to something with continuity
You mean proper nouns instead of pronouns [... with a smug smile].
Okay, "it" = the non-physical entity, and something is not suppose to be a pronoun for anything.
Of course it fucking does. It is a physically different object! If you have two identical copies, you have two objects; so you have two sets of attributes.B. Furthermore, there is also an objective truth that the mind in Sydney has different identity that the mind in Perth.
How are they physically different?
There are two of them. One is a different number from two.
They do not share a single consciousness, any more than they share a single left hand; no matter how similar the two copies might be, there are two of everything.
