THIS IS THE QUESTION I AM ASKING. you are ANSWERING some OTHER 'thing'. Of YOUR OWN MAKING, by the way.
ANOTHER WAY to ASK 'this' IS; WHO, or WHAT, does the 'your' word REFER TO, EXACTLY, in the phrase or term, 'your body'?
What 'You' or 'I' am, are individual "Selves".
WHY are 'you', "wizard22", here USING capital letters for 'y' and 's'?
Also, if 'You' and 'i' ARE individual 'Selves', then 'this' MUST BE and ONLY BE what 'we' ARE, right?

A Self, is like your Spirit or Soul or Identity, your Uniqueness.
Here we have, ONCE AGAIN, 'self-contradiction' in the PRIME FORM.
A so-called 'Self', (capital 's') is LIKE 'your' Spirit or Soul or Identity, to 'you'. So, now TELL 'us' HOW, EXACTLY, could A 'Self' ALSO be what its OWN Spirit, Soul, or Identity IS?

At the basic level of Physics, this means the time and physical location of your Body, which cannot be replicated. Even if you had a Clone-self, a copy, or an identical twin, no two bodies can inhabit the same physical time and space.
Talk ABOUT ANOTHER PRIME example here of MISSING, and/or MISUNDERSTANDING, what I HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT and POINTING OUT.

Therefore, "your" uniqueness is at least your physical location in space & time.
'you' would have to FIRST EXPLAIN WHO and/or WHAT the 'your' word here is REFERRING TO, EXACTLY, and then EXPLAIN how 'this thing' IS RELATED to the physical body, EXACTLY, and do BOTH in a Truly NON CONTRADICTORY and CONSISTENT way, which could NOT be REFUTED, THEN we CAN SEE if 'this conclusion' of 'YOURS' here is even REMOTELY CLOSE to the ACTUAL Truth of 'things'.

But the Self is more intertwined with the "Mind" or Brain of the organism. What "You" are, then, is also a
set of beliefs, some of which are true, some of which are false. Or more accurately, some of which are more Real, some of which are less Real.
Like what, for example, are some of the BELIEFS, WITHIN 'that body', which are LESS Real?
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 11:21 am
A person whose beliefs are aligned with "Reality", therefore "more true", is identified as "Objective" as opposed to someone whose beliefs does not align with Reality, is identified as "Subjective".
AND, 'you' REALLY can NOT SEE the BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS DILEMMA here?

A person's Self is not only their mental Beliefs, but also their series of Memories, of lived experience, which are also Unique.
So, now 'we' have A thing, called a 'person' here now, who HAS, OWNS, or POSSESSES this 'Self' 'Thing'.
Are 'you' able to EXPLAIN this CONTRADICTION and INCONSISTENCY here?
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 11:21 am
Because memories cannot be recalled exactly, and decay over time. Some memories, like some beliefs, are 'stronger' than others.
All of these together represent your "Self" or your 'You', what 'You' are, that 'You' own.
Can you, AGAIN, really NOT SEE the 'self-contradiction' here?
Saying, "your" 'Self' implies that there IS "ANOTHER" other than the 'Self', and to make 'this' WORSE the word 'your', (and even 'my') implies 'ownership'. SO, AGAIN, WHO and/or WHAT is 'the one' who OWNS or POSSESSES the 'Self'?

They are
yours, not somebody else's.
SO, the 'Self' AND the 'you' ARE MINE, and NOT some OTHER physical bodies, correct?
Which 'one' could infer MEANS that A 'body' OWNS these 'things' or 'thing', which 'you' call and label here as 'Self', and 'You'.

Because no two people share the exact-same beliefs, nor the exact-same memories, nor the exact-same physical location (Existence).
Okay, if you SAY SO.
