Can you explain how that is responsive to the relief that this subjectivity gets to exit the stage?
I'll try. For example, our nightly state that forms a sort of split in our stream of consciousness is similar.
It's a bit like saying you are happy life is over when you go to bed, but in reality there's a pretty good chance you'll start a dream state which you might not remember afterwards.
Still, even if you might not remember a nightmare, you don't want a form of yourself to experience it. As you know in that 'now' it will be suffering for that version of yourself.
I think I might be self-specific psychopath, as I can’t gin up much beyond mild sympathy for some other instance of the self whose outcomes I can’t influence.
Could be, or maybe I'm the over-anxious one being too emphatic. But I can just imagine there will be a moment that I'm going to be that instance of self, which will experience the world similar to me.
Like it's as much me as the me in one hour is going to be me. As long as our chemical setup is the same, with (roughly) the same organization of atoms and thus having the same brain, I can relate as I know exactly how it feels.
