More like me than anything else in the universe is not sufficient for subjective expectation. Im not asking whether my appearance, personality, and memories are preserved (they are) I'm asking whether these properties are born by the same "I" of the present
I don't understand "born by"? Maybe you meant "borne"? But that's reifying "I" over and above all its properties. Why do that? I'm just questioning the all-or-nothing. Why can't "I" just consist of most of the properties "I" had yesterday?

I will either wake up in my bed tomorrow or someone else will who is merely like me will. Why "merely"? Why isn't "more like me than anything else in the universe" enough to "be" you? But memories can be gained or lost. If the loss or gain of a single memory destroys me, then we are right back to the empty view, if i can survive these kinds of transformations then we return to the open view I don't see it? Why the all-or-nothing conclusion? You have more of your memories than I do; so we are distinct. Brent
