vertiginous question

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."

Question Complex

When someone is prone to asking very personal questions
"Bro, did you get that girl last night"
"No, because she seemed offended when I asked her about her clit"
"Yeah, you always did have that question complex"

Open question

A question that anyone can feel free to answer. Not directed at anyone.
Hym "And still the open question remains unanswered... I genuinely don't understand what you hope to achieve by doing this... Is there a point you're trying to make? If so, it is going straight over my head. It's like I'm waiting for a punchline and you just keep droning on and on... Oh, and the solution to that problem you're talking about would be: date a cuck and then schedule yourself and extracurricular shift at the old developmentally disabled group home and fuck a big dick retard in secret. Not that any of them were particularly competent but I think it still applies."
