The name Benj Hellie gave to this question: "Why am I me and not someone else?". It's called "vertiginous" because it makes people's heads spin, especially the heads of P-zombies. Also called the "even harder problem of consciousness", since it's even harder to solve than David Chalmers' hard problem of consciousness. Materialism can't seem to answer it. Its unanswerability and the fact that the self exists at all may possibly imply that solipsism is true, that animals aren't sentient, and that this is all a simulation where everyone else is an NPC. It may also imply that I'm immortal and that my consciousness will last forever, living as everyone.
How a nonsentient P-zombie NPC reacts after hearing about it: "The vertiginous question is meaningless. If I were someone else, I wouldn't be me."

Get the vertiginous question mug.Based Questing is when someone pursues life side quests entirely on their own terms without bending to anyone else’s expectations.
It is the act of stepping off the “main path” to explore adventures, habits, hobbies, or experiences purely because they resonate with you. A based quester follows their inner compass, treats detours as essential chapters, and levels up through conviction-driven exploration rather than chasing approval.
Key traits:
• Low-stakes exploration fueled by deep alignment
• Rejecting pressure to follow a predetermined timeline
• Letting curiosity and courage shape your character arc
• Choosing paths that build self-trust, not performance for others

“Everyone signed up for the big bus tour, but I rented a scooter and went based questing around the island solo. Riding a scooter is what makes me feel the most alive: wind in my face, no schedule, no crowd, just pure freedom. While they paid for an overhyped, overpriced, watered-down version of the island, I was out there carving my own path and soaking in the real thing.”
