The Doppelganger Experiment

Fucking myself just seems like a really random course of action. Why would clone me want to spend my last few moments alive having sex with an ugly man? And why would real me want to have sex with an ugly clone?

But perhaps people are just worried that the thread will get zapped if we talk about sex too much.

The article is a joke, both literally and figuratively. I would never clone myself, and I would never want to interact in any way with a clone of myself. The author's arguments for both courses of action are illogical and baffling.

The author's arguments that it has to be one or the other are utter nonsense, but fighting still seems a likely scenario to me.

"People seem to have an aversion to fucking themselves."

Yea, as it turns out, most people aren't gay or bi.

Contrary to what population samplings of TV Tropes would lead you to believe, this is true.

The reason I wouldn't have sex with myself is because I don't like men, that makes it pretty cut and dry.

When I bring this hypothetical up with people, I'm consistently shocked when some say they would just "talk" to themselves. If you're curious what you sound like, buy a tape recorder. If you're hoping to have a genuinely stimulating conversation, why have it with yourself? What value can be found conversing with someone who knows no more than you and can offer no fresh perspective on things you do know? There is nothing to be learned from someone who thinks exactly like you, you'd spend an hour just bullshitting.

This article is asinine, this is the type of d-bag who mostly believe in the Introspection is BS craze going on with pseudo intellectuals.

Also to answer the question at hand, neither. Knowing me/cloneme If I only had an hour to live my clone would be crying in my respective arms, and I'd be trying to comfort my clone with slowly started to cry myself.

EDIT: multiple myselves was confusing even me.

I wonder how someone with a Multiple Personality Disorder would do with this?

It'd be kinda funny to see.

Anyways yeah, I have standard operating procedures if I had a clone, and especially one that only lasts an hour.

I'd honestly experiment on her. first with torture, then with mind games, then with A whole lot of other experiments

It would be interesting to see from an outside perspective, certainly to take notes about.

There's nothing wrong with introspection, if that's the statement you were making.

Fucking or fighting yourself however, is not introspection.
