Then please tell me what "FPI" is saying that "nobody knows what they will see or do next" does not. >>> a rather systematic confusion of first person and third person. >>> >> >> >> Oh yes, the world is full of people who are confused by the extremely >> subtle difference between the words "I" and "him". >> > > > You are confuse on this > I know but it's not my fault, I was sick on the day my first grade English teacher explained the difference. > What do you say to HWWMWMMMW-John Clark? I would say Hi pleased to meet you because I, the H-John Clark, is not the HWWMWMMMW-John Clark because that guy has experienced things the H-John Clark has not. However the situation is asymmetrical, the HWWMWMMMW-John Clark is the H-John Clark because that fellow remembers being the H-John Clark. The reason that in matters of personal identity the "is the" relation does not have the commutative property is that the past/future relation does not have it either.
