Those "rhetorical tricks" have another name, it's an obscure technical term called "logic". Perhaps you've heard of it. > > > Just answer this.

If a person has been duplicated then there is no more "the", it's now "a" because that's what "duplicated" means. And "a" Helsinki Man today is anyone or anything that remembers being " the " Helsinki Man before the duplication. And yes yes I know, "I confuse the 1p and the 3p"; so cure my confusion and run through the entire duplicating procedure from start to finish strictly from "*the*" first person perspective without using ambiguous personal pronouns and using "the" and "a" correctly. I'm betting you can't do it. > > I recall that you have agreed that the first person experiences W and M > are incompatible and belongs to separate streams of consciousness/first > person experiences. > Yes, obviously they are incompatible with each other, but neither is incompatible with the Helsinki Man if "The Helsinki Man" means something that remembers being a man in Helsinki before the duplication occurred. And if it doesn't mean that then what does it mean? John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
