Seems a simple enough question.

Seems a simple enough question.

I don't believe it is a simple question, in part because it is too general. What *sort* of answer makes sense to a question like this? Are you sure the question itself isn't making unfounded assumptions (for example, that I am a single entity with consistent properties)?

I can give some identifying information (age, occupation, etc), but does that say who I *am*? I guess that depends on what you are trying to ask in the question. Clearly, in many ways, that identifying information *does* say who I am. It isn't a *complete* picture, but it is enough to uniquely identify me.

If you are asking for a *complete* picture, then no answer will be sufficient. There are just too many aspects that interlink and interact.

I'm a resident of this moss and water covered spec of iron we call Earth that is hurtling through the cosmos and incomprehensible speeds and distances, a biomechanical machine who looks forward but only ever sees things as they happened.
After that another one of billions of confused apes trying to do her best to make sense of it all. But even that is thwarted and made difficult, because the human ape is so remarkable yet so remarkably limited and short sighted it's a miracle in itself they've survived this long.

Thank God we don’t feel those cosmic speeds

That which I call ‘I’ is transient, an illusion without substance, a function of the ego.

That voice in your head, the running monologue, the critic that comments on and evaluates everything, often unbidden? That’s not you.
