Nature made us with physical distinction and proximity to give us the illusion of separateness? Take away fingerprints. Take away genes making us appear different. Strip it all down to our brain. If we all looked the same, but had brains, would we still be different, or would we all be the same person looking through a different pair of eyes?!?! |

Strip away all your ego thoughts of I. Just imagine this: Everyone looks like YOU! Same genetic expression. But everyone has their own brain. So you're seeing you everywhere but just different thoughts. I feel like I'm hacking nature right now. |

Could you kill someone that looked exactly like you for food? What if you saw the reflection of yourself suffering everywhere? Or what if you saw the reflection of yourself enjoying yourself, everywhere? Could you take it? Could you have sex with yourself? I know this sounds crazy, but whatever designed us, or however came to be knew that our higher intelligence we needed to be seen as separate and look different. While all other animals of the same specie look almost identical. |
