[7:03] Marianne Thespian: Right everyone. Time to get started. If you haven't done already, please ook at the board, answer the question, and hold it ready to hit enter when I ak for your response.
[7:03] Marianne Thespian: Thank you Kimm!
[7:04] Marianne Thespian: When you're ready get your avatar t stand up so I know.
[7:04] You: Press down alt and the left hand mouse button to move you camera
[7:04] You: if you can't see the question
[7:05] Marianne Thespian: Well done Cade, keep waiting until we're all ready hurry up you lot!
[7:05] Oswy Gothly accepted your inventory offer.
[7:05] Marianne Thespian: Great, Marya!
[7:06] Marianne Thespian: This is not the time to write a thesis everyone!
[7:06] Marya Blaisdale: lol
[7:06] Torwalker Sack: no - if it's numerical identity i'm still sitting at home so avatar can't be numerically identical to me
[7:06] Oswy Gothly: My first reaction was to say No how could I possibly be numerically identical with an Avatar. On reflection well a short reflection I think I am going to say yes but with qualification. Last time I was trying to make the point that Personal Identity (PI) was to do with a complex of mental features such as memory etc. But he complex had to be embodied in something material, a body, a brain etc. Since I dont believe in souls or ghosts I dont see PI which by the way seems to me to be the same sort of thing as consciousness, as being capaqble of free floating. So if the mentl thing that is me is here typing and the projection of some of me is Oswy Gothly, I can hardly believe i am saying this, then in some sense the pixels on the screen embody me. So to that limited sense I am my Avatar.
[7:06] Marianne Thespian: Torwalker, I hadn't asked you for your answer yet. If you have finished, hold it ready to hit enter' and stand up!
