What if you met yourself? This theory is very much like the cloning problem I have talked about before. Let us say an example, you are sitting at home alone, you live on your own. You then hear there is someone coming through your front door. You rush to the door only to find yourself looking at yourself. The other version of you is as surprised as you are. What would happen next? Would you kick your copy out? What if your copy thinks you’re the copy? How would you convince that person that you’re the real you? More importantly, How would the other person convince you that your not the real you?
Would you cry and weep and say “I am me, you can’t be me”, or maybe fight and then chuck out the other person? Maybe you can sort this out like civilised people. In case your wounding this is not your twin in front of you, this is a complete copy. What would you do?
Well this is what I would do. I do not accept there is two of me. I am me and only me. Two there to be two of me there are now entities of me. Let me example. What I believe is that it is more likely that there cannot be two of the same person. As for them to be both the same person they would need to share a conscious mind. The fact they both look the same and share memories does not mean they are the same. But this is not the say they wasn’t the same. I.e. if it was one person that is now two people, then the person was not always two people. The person shares the same past, identity and memories but from when the copying happened would be a new person. There for all of the memories would be the same up to a certain point. After that point the mind would react to the current events and grow to form a different person. So to answer this problem of meeting yourself, you would not meet yourself just a version of you that had done something different. As to know who the rightful person is, well the answer is very hard. Both of you should just sit down and talk about it. Maybe it is possible to rejoin the two of you together and then the problem would be solved.
We briefly covered this but how would you react? Would you help yourself or fight yourself? Maybe just ignore them and hope they go away? What about if you went into a world where everyone was you? Everyone thought they had just arrived in the world. How would you know you were you and not one of the other million others!!! Would you be happy in a world of you? Are you a good person that it could work? This goes back to treating others how you would like to be treated yourself! Only in this theory you would be treating yourself how you treated others!! If the world was full of the person you are would the world work? If not maybe you can better yourself for the good.
