Tfw you realize the Self is an illusion

>Hopefully I'm making sense and not just sounding like a massive pompous faggot.
no it was clear

Not who you responded to but since I like debating philosophy I'll throw in my own argument.

Your question is loaded because it assume the existence of a past. If the past does not truly exist then there is no "me when I was two years old" to be the same person as.

Makes sense. But in that scenario the Self is an illusion. This thread was about whether the Self is an illusion or not, and your scenario is one where it is indeed an illusion, just like the one I proposed.

In the context of the thread then you're absolutely right. I was just having a little side musing I guess.
