The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian) / quote 212 of 254
No narrative sense of self
He has a sense of his self, but he doesn’t identify this with this persisting human animal. He’s relatively indifferent to its past and future, and this is temperamental, it’s not philosophical. ‘I found these things in my diaries saying things like “I have no narrative sense of self at all”, so I’ve got some nice evidence that this was [what] it was like to me before I might have been corrupted by philosophical thinking about it.’
