I don't think the difficulty of verification invalidates the point I am making.

If it is meaningful in any sense to say that psychological continuity is possible, it is meaningful to say that it is possible across worlds that cannot communicate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
