claim that changes to the body don't change the sense of identity
Anyone makind this claim isn't really up on current AI research, as body-identiy-capability is now recognized as deeply tied in evolving AIs. Some of the MIT labs are now testing postulates that one of the reasons that human-relation AIs have been tradititonally bad at is is because they lacked some of the self-form.
limitation of the pain, was this steady persistent awareness that this is not me
This is one of the reasons I get so wound up around personal body issues and exercise and diet and stuff. Really I'm not all that limited by most things, but my internal perception image is... MUCH more physically capable than I am. I'm not sure where this perception is directed really, but things like endurance and flexability. That's one of the main reasons that I've been concentrating my exercise rountines (when I keep up with them) to these areas. Current physical self is not-me in some ways, and not even in the sense that I've identified internally as about 50-ish since about age 8 or so.
