Mind blowing question of the night: Am I you in a parallel dimension?!

The only way to know for sure that I am the same as you in emotions and human potential is if I am actually you in another version of this reality as scientists have proven exists. Now I am not saying that I am you reading this and you are me typing this in another dimension but I am you feeling and seeing things. I am your life with your nose, and sight. I'm not your personality per se but I am this feeling of now in your existence. That's the only way in all dimensions we can sympathize with each other because deep inside we know we're living each others lives in each others bodies through each others eyes!

Perhaps...or, are you, 'you' in a perpendicular universe?

Proof? I thought it was just theories, but would love to see this proof that you speak of.

But most people don't actually care, and are incapable of truly feeling empathy for others.

As I recall from my psychology in college, its called phenomenological thinking. It expands into the arena that if I were to somehow see the color red, for example, through your eyes would I recognize it as red or would I think it was a different color because of my own historical experience. Still, in the end, all the colors should line up, just renamed in some manner because of experience and personal labels. Also, if I experience an injury of some sort, would I be able to recognize it in any way through your experience if we were to exchange consciousnesses? Would I be able to walk, or would your brain be wired so differently would I even be able to speak---or think coherently through your existence?

You are correct. It is very, very weird indeed.

Guys, I remember the days when a decent opening post could actually gather some intelligent responses. Now it just seems full of captain Kirk jokes and Spartacus jokes.

Since when did ATS become 4chan?

If you don't agree with the OP then discuss why or better yet don't ruin his/her thread.

I think, because the topology of the universe is like a Klein Bottle, that, in fact, you explicitly are not yourself.

Not even the remotest likeness.

Nada.

Not.

No.

You are far more like everything that has ever existed and will exist, ever, except...

Freedom is Slavery.

War is Peace.

Ignorance is Knowledge.

Truth is a Lie.

Welcome to ATS.

Thank you for that, I am very interested and am posting to find this after I sleep for the night. Good subject. Deep.

It is in fact a representation of of a knowledge ski-jump.

It all goes "whoosh" over my head.

It gives me a wonderful outlook where I can rate each intellectual jump without any risk of broken bones.

Why, a 'parallel' dimension?
Why not, more than one?

In effect, every thought projects us individually into new dimensions all the time...but what is a dimension?

True, I kinda took the theory to the extreme on this one. No proof but I found some videos that inspired me:

I suppose we place a limit on dimensions because our neural processing is not wired like that.

Also each dimension speaks of enourmous energies.

And we can loose things in alternate dimensions.

I always loose small change and socks.

Ya..perhaps...but, the effect of choosing a path at the nexus of emerging and potential 'dimensions', at almost every second, essentially projects us into a different dimension than what we were in, before the choice is made...
The filmic nature of experiencing these moments (the cycling 'nows') makes it appear as if we are in the one dimension...which we are not...ever...
