Thanks that made my day.

We really need to fix you up with Pillory. If you're not a woman maybe you could be gay for a while, that would be so perfect. The universe does not come together like this very often.

It is an interesting point though - can I be defined as the same individual who went by my name 10 years ago?
Will I exist 10 years from now as anything more than memories in an alien body? (That is the body of the person that I will "become" in ten years)

One wonders. Certainly looking back at myself ten years ago, there are very many differences. If that person that this one coexisted we would not be taken as the same person by anyone, even ourselves. We would disagree, argue, and enjoy each other's company - even being surprised by each other.
While we would probably understand each other quite well, I couldn't read his mind, nor he mine.

Legally, we are the same person. Genetically, identical. But the physical matter that makes up our bodies (how does one parse tense when two different tenses are in use at the same time?) is different. The organization of our minds is different. I can see some ways in which we can be said to be different people.
But I'm still responsible for his actions, and future Roboramma is responsible for mine.

Ah, well, it's all just meaningless metaphysics anyway.
