@romlib_ I think the succinct way to put it is: identity is functional, so two different bodies are two different people not automatically but because they are sufficiently functionally different.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@Zythey @matt_olma No, that's what Parfait said.

I think they would be the same person as each other.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@dilanesper @BladeDoc No. Medical ethics requires that you can leave a study at any time.

@romlib_ I think the succinct way to put it is: identity is functional, so two different bodies are two different people not automatically but because they are sufficiently functionally different.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@romlib_ Oh, I don't believe in qualia so they're not part of my view.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@MinCorpPixel @matt_olma If it's not memory continuity that matters, why didn't you exist before the amnesia?

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@romlib_ @matt_olma The reason I believe Parfait is wrong is because I treat consciousness in functional terms and insisting that someone can only have one body at a time leads to functionally equivalent scenarios with different consciousness.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@romlib_ @matt_olma It's more an analogy to explain my thinking than a demonstration; I'm not claiming that consciousness is literally text, just that it has some properties like text.

Would you agree that, for example, if I have two copies of the same text I quantitatively have one text?

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@ibflorea Because he seems to have compromised the interests of Nvidia in favour of his mistresses.

They're probably quite upset about the drop in share prices.

And they're also probably taking a fresh look at the corporate structure and thinking it needs urgent reform.

@___TheGOOdWitch I'm an atheist and we believe in Satan and worship each other, but I would never gaslight a Christian girlboss.

@captgouda24 @chucklemea61294 Hang on now. You said they were the group that hurts America most. Of course voting is germane to that.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@AidanCTweets @SarahHasSpoken @jk_rowling I think this is the closest statement. It can be read alongside this other comment about power dynamics; I see the implication but with a brief search I can't find any explicit statement that trans people shouldn't work with children.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@AidanCTweets @SarahHasSpoken @jk_rowling I think you're mixing her up with Rachel Meade, who shared:

"Boys that identify as girls go to Girl Guides. Girls that identify as boys go to Boy Scouts. Men that identify as paedophiles go to either.”"

@etirabys It's a lovely jumper.

@MinCorpPixel @matt_olma Do you consider causing anterograde amnesia the equivalent of murder?

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@MinCorpPixel @matt_olma To be clear, I'm not saying they won't split up and become separate people quickly. I'm saying that they aren't always necessarily separate people just because there are two bodies.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@MinCorpPixel @matt_olma Let's say you are asked a question while under an anaesthetic that causes anterograde amnesia. You are left in no different a position to Jones. Were there two separate people who were you, one of whom has died?

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@beckness Not sure what I'm going to do with it now that Russell's been convicted. I can't throw it away.

[Joseph Henderson @JosephZander]

@beckness I was able to cure it by imagining Russel Brand's hair, that elegant display. Since then, every time I make love to a woman I cut away a lock of her hair and add it to the shrine. I call it my little bonsai bush.
