Perhaps, but I doubt that you lose your 'self'. A self is immortal. Just like you wake up from the anaesthetic after the surgery. Where your 'self' was during, is an open question (downing tequila sunrises in the bar at Platonia Central???) Similarly, is the person who is undergoing transportation-with-delay unconscious? It is merely said that 'they' (presumably this means their 'self' - whatever that is, which is what I am asking) is 'stored'. While their self is being stored somewhere it doesn't matter if we think of 'them' as unconscious because they will disagree with you from their 1p report on their experience where they will experience no discontinuity of self whatsoever. So the self cannot be a secretion of the mind. You can knock a mind right out and still get a self back when you take all the tubes out after an extraordinary amount of time. Schumacher is still Schumacher. Alive and well, in a coma, as a vegetable or dead. A person. Kim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
