Speaking of empiricism: you have fallen asleep many times, and nothing bad has happened..why should something bad happen next time?
Because if only waking contributes to your reality, than it is pure coincidence that I found myself in the body of this particular Eitan Zohar this morning.
What is this "I"?
My current subjective experience.
If I is defined by a conscious state , then it is not coincidental that the i defined by a conscious state finds itself is inthat conscious state, it is tautology.
