did anyone else lay awake for hours as a small child thinking about how incredibly weird it was that they were this specific person rather than someone else or nothing at all?

...no?

@zeta_globin

is no one else not just amazed by waking up as the same person every day

i think there was something about reading such an incredible volume of books that fucked up my brain a little, like after having lived inside the heads of thousands of others in stories the idea of being attached to *this* life didn't really make sense

anyway when i first learned about rawls' veil of ignorance it made a LOT of sense to me
