Thank you for the interesting and engaging response.

If we truly believed that our "I" ceased to exist after today, what we would probably do is try to do everything we want to do today and completely forget about tomorrow, without imagining the consequences, because it would not make sense to worry about that, we will never live it anyway.

This is a really good point. As I read this, I actually started thinking: yep; that's exactly what I do. The thing is though, this only seems to apply within certain limits. There are things I would definitely do if I knew I were going to die tonight, that I would not do otherwise and that I will not do today.

Shouldn't there be a different "me" today in the morning and today in the afternoon?

I was talking with someone else about this. What defines the boundary between selves? Is it periods of continuous consciousness, like the times between when we are sleeping as I heavily suggest in this post? Is it possible to maintain one's self through a brief lapse in consciousness? When we fall asleep at our keyboards and jerk ourselves awake, are we a new individual? What about when we get up in the middle of the night to use the washroom?

Is an entire conscious being created and destroyed for the express purpose of taking a piss?

If that's the case, not only have you not been hugged, but you've done practically nothing ever.

That conclusion is actually correct regardless of the veracity of the preceding condition. xD

Fascinating questions; the sort without well-defined answers, which are my favourite kind of questions after all.
