Hey David,
I recently hired an actor to play me in my real life. As I found out that were several pitfalls that I had not foreseen. First, there was the fact that the actor did not have the same education or credentials which I hold. As you could have probably imagined, this led to both confusion and missteps when working with clients facing a multitude of barriers and issues. Unsurprisingly, this led to me to soon becoming unemployed. Thankfully, I still hold my position.
The second thing that I learned from this experience was that I lost myself in the aleatoric nature. By observing myself, outside of myself, I found clients where unable to distinguish me from me. A times, we had even finished each other's sentences. By the time I realized this, I was already the me outside. I could nearly touch my cheek. His flesh far clearer than mine, probably from the moisturizer. In those little moments, it was difficult to find myself ending and beginning.
And finally, I reach back in my mind to remind myself to reach out. You. You have, unfortunately, transitioned. Back into the void; nearing the edge of the universe. When AI resurrects you to direct this email, I and me (whenever he has gone) will be in the in-between. And if by any chance you're still in there, let's all become heroes together!
