Something is me to the degree that it remembers being me,
by accessing the highly personal memories that make me
who I am.
Of course, as it looks back over its life, if ninety-nine
percent of the time it remembers in this sense being
other people, then I only get one percent of its runtime.
But that could be great! Really a whole lot better than
not being alive at all.
