X-Message-Number: 25459 Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 19:35:52 -0800 (PST) From: Scott Badger <> Subject: to Valera To Valera, Yes, you're correct. My statements are contradictory. For the moment, at least, I have talked myself out of my earlier position. It's not the first time, and as a thinking person, I hope not the last. The question of how much damage my brain can endure without 'me' being lost and whether my self is preserved using original or non-original materials are different issues, though, admittedly related to the duplicates problem. My gut doesn't like the paradoxes of duplicates but the discomfort is unavoidable when I try to shine a light on the issues surrounding identity. Nothing's for certain at this point so I can only say I'm leaning in one direction over another. Best regards and Happy New Year, Scott ===== Wm Scott Badger, PhD Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25459
