That weird 1993 thread got me thinking, what if I went back in time five or six years and spoke with myself?
I tried to think about what I would have said to myself, the sorts of things I might be able to say to really prove I am myself from the future. And it occured to me just how incredibly different the situation I was in, the things I was going through, the things I thought, felt, did, were...
It seems really obscene to call that person me.
I happen to know that my past self has considered this exact situation amy times before.
So no, I have no idea.
