My alter ego claims to be just like you, but this isn't enough for me to trust you. Is it that I don't trust myself? Is it that I secretly believe in my own uniqueness?
If the latter, the secret is now out, but it's a secret guarded by an 'if.' I both believe in and doubt my uniqueness. Uniqueness is never to be trusted because it is wholly other. That means it is alien, and even if the aliens come in peace, by the end of the movie, they always betray us. It would be a boring movie otherwise. I suppose it would work if we betray them instead. Our excuse would be lack of trust, because any other reason would make us the bad guys.
Is there an unbridgeable distance between us? If our differences are superficial, it means there is not.
But maybe the betrayal scenario is as follows. Because you are just like me, you share my doubts and distrust. And because you are like me, you will use your lack of trust, as I would, as an excuse to betray me, thus I must preemptively strike. And because you are like me, I figure you plan to preemptively strike so I must hurry.
If you are just like me, must I thank you for reading my blog? Why wouldn't you read the blog of someone just like you? But, since I would like to be thanked, I must conclude you would as well, and so I thank you.
