    In ‘i am a strange loop’ Douglas Hofstadter makes a good point how the recursion ability of your brain might lead to the emergence of a soul. And that in a very mom reductionist and comforting manner. Great book.

    Furthermore a good shower thought I’ve had was not us all being the same person, but reincarnation being true, but also for inanimate objects. So that most inhabit just atoms of matter, for millions of years and that inhabiting a live creature is very rare, even rarer a sentient creature. That puts a different perspective on being, I find.

      Nice! Regarding that shower thought, have you seen Everything Everywhere All at Once?
