Is it possible that OI can be refuted by simply saying there is no causal link between me and every other person that exists? Like just because there are other people doesn't mean I'm them.

Idk.

Alright, so this is something that sort of just popped into my head this morning.

So alot of people who subscribe to OI say that we all have the same baseline consciousness shared between all conscious beings right?

But what if that baseline consciousness is still distinct somehow.

like, say I have 2 red balls, both completely identical, would you say they are the same ball? no because they are clearly two different objects despite being identical, because of their placement in spacetime.

Now you can say that they both have the baseline properties of being spherical and red, but what if one of them was blue. Sure you can then say that they both share the baseline property of being spherical, but they'd still be different because of their placement in spacetime.

idk, what do you guys think?
