If I got myself cloned, would my identity still be my own?

Alex, Carl and James question Giacomo Figà Talamanca [https://armchairopinions.org/armchairphilosophers/giacomofigatalamanca/] on his Opinion [https://armchairopinions.org/if-i-got-myself-cloned-would-my-identity-still-be-my-own/] about cloning and identity, by way of soul GPS, murder machines, and clone infidelity. And it was Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia (not Queen Christina of Sweden) who posed the interaction problem for Descartes.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
