Well, would you sleep with yourself? If you happened to meet yourself and had the chance to, would you?...
Would you sleep with yourself?
- Thread starter Mournful Crow
- Start date
Wouldn't that technically be masturbation?
Don't most of us already do that?
Why make things more complicated

... Hmm.
No. I reckon if I was sat opposite myself, hearing myself speak and imagining my own thoughts even though I couldn't sense them that it would just be too weird. It would be like a perfect copy and the uncanny valley effect would be too great.

This reminds me of something I read a while ago:

Well, no. I'm not a homosexual, and as badass as it can look, long-haired men with a beard aren't exactly attractive. At least not in my case

Technically, if it's a perfect clone of yourself, even including all of your memories up to the point of being cloned, then it's a second physical manifestation of yourself.Mortai Gravesend said:

Up to a point, I agree.Mortai Gravesend said:But the second we meet our memories diverge and they are no longer quite the same person. Also I would argue they're not a second physical manifestation of me because I lack sensation from that body. I don't see what it sees, I don't feel what it feels, etc. If I were to die the me in this body would end and the other me would go on.Daystar Clarion said:ClockworkPenguin said:BathorysGraveland said:Well, no.

But imagine you and your clone are in a completely sealed room, and the clone can only exist for an hour or two.
It has all of your memories up to the very moment it's put in the sealed room with you.
Your thoughts won't diverge, the room in a white cube, it looks the same at every angle.
At that moment in time, there's nothing that separates you from the clone as an individual.
Your clone would close his eyes too.Mortai Gravesend said:But that only applies if we do the EXACT same actions. If we do anything to break the symmetry the clone and I have divergent thoughts.Daystar Clarion said:Up to a point, I agree.Mortai Gravesend said:But the second we meet our memories diverge and they are no longer quite the same person.

Also there is something that separates us. IF I were to close my eyes then I would not see out of the eyes of my clone, yes? So our senses are not linked. That is what separates us.
At the point of entering the room, nothing separates you from your clone.
You would react in the exact same why.
In fact, this raises the question of whether it would be possible to even have sex with yourself, if it's an exact clone.
