Hym "Is it... Is it other
people? Are the other
people going to compare me to other
people?"
Iam "They might compare you to you... Sometimes." 🤷
Hym "Maybe if you display a radical change in appearance. Lose or gain a bunch of weight. Get horribly disfigured or something."
Iam "Well... You shouldn't care what other
people think about you."
Hym "If my identity is, in part, a matter of consensus; what other
people think is perpetually relevant. I have to care what other
people think. I don't have a choice."
Iam "Yeah, I don't think it should be a matter of consensus in the first place but I see what you
mean... Hmm... Hmm... Does comparison constitute imitating the creature?"
Hym "Technically... Yes... Well... No. The creature cannot compare itself to anything else and, therefore, would make the act of comparison uniquely human. It's too different from anything to compare itself to anything. Humans are alike enough to
one another to compare."
Iam "Huh... Right because relativity would only exist within the confines of reality and God exist outside of it... Right?"
Hym "Seems about right. I don't know I'm getting tired. We'll figure out in the morning."
Iam "Aight."
