Out of all of the questions we can ask, "why am I me?" is one of the most interesting, especially if done with the goal of being able to concisely explain it to other people. Your post is confusing to me, because I think "why am I me?" is not a nonsense question but "Why am I not somebody else" is a nonsense question.
Does anyone here think that "why am I me?" is actually a really easy question? What's the answer then, or how do I dissolve the question? I do not claim to understand the mystery of subjective experience. Where I stop understanding is something mysterious connected to the Born probabilities.
If "Why am I me?" is nonsense it does not follow that all discussions of subjective experience or even anthropic reasoning are nonsense.
Sure. I edited my post to try to make my thoughts on Tordmor's post more clear.
