    I Am Not Me–The Self

    For most people, the answer to “who am I?” is that I am my self-aware sense of “me” encased in this body of mine. Yes, we are that, but we are also the things we love and hate, plus the record of our actions in this world, overlaid upon a perfect fractal echo of God’s mind.

    A Simple Model of Memes, Pt. 1–“Live and Let Live”
