basically this is a common idea, but I like it
basically every person is a different person than the person who went by the same name and had many of the same moeculeswho inhabited the space he is currently in a moment ago (we won't go into what a moment is)
so when we come down to it, it is a different person doing things all the time
now who that person is, is a combination of decisions by past selves (we will call them this just to aid in delivering the concept) as well as the environment
now, I like existing (I wouldn't want to live forever but that is a different issue) right now, and so would not like to not exist
but the best I can hope for is to have a lot of control over future people (especially future versions of myself)
now this is my problem with drugs
you lose a lot of control over future versions of yourself, because it is messing with your mind in ways that you are not in control of
my dad has a car accident in 1990 and we had a lot of talks where he would say that he died that day
and he did, I now think
the head injury was such that he was not only not the same person (which he wouldn't be anyway), but he was a different person in a way in which he had no control over
now I know that drugs aren't usually as sudden as that, but once you make the choice to use them, you have little control over what sorts of effects they will have on you, those aren't effects that you create independently of other forms of reality
I try to be affected by others as little as possible because effecting future realities is all I can do now
anyways, it is something to think about

hopefully this thread will not be closed (I made the orgy thread because one of my freinds was involved in one and I was wondering about them, I am sort of pissed off that it is closed)
