Hey, @suaravrungta.

When I was younger, I didn't mind the idea of parallel universes, and therefore parallel mes. But the older I get, the more I wonder just what that's supposed to mean. Are there really an infinite amount of decisions that anyone of us can make? And does that really mean that a version of us would really make every different decision? If they're so similar to us, then wouldn't they also have similar moral make ups that, while flexible and somewhat influenced by outside forces, wouldn't range that much?

I guess it's fun to think about, except I'm kind of happy with the life I have, and if I were to exchange with someone else, I would feel like I was living a lie, no matter how wonderful it was.

Or bad. There's always the potential for a worse life, too, in this kind of a scenario.

I think there is a finite amount of genetic material, so that's why they say there's at least one other person that might look like us, but physical appearance doesn't necessarily equate to same personalities, standards, etc. So, while looking like us, we can't say they are us.

Those things that make up our identity that aren't physically, emotionally or intellectually us—birthdate, birthplace, name, etc.—along with things that help define us—parents, siblings, extended family, friends, schooling, places we live—if any of it has changed, can we really say we're still us?

More things to think about, I guess. And aside from a nice conversational exercise, currently impossible to prove.
