@PhilosophyExp This is a subject I find v. hard, as I tend to ask myself questions which I can't tell are sensible or not.
@sjzara Oh, it's nightmarishly difficult. If you have 5 mins, have a go at this - see where your intuitions take you: http://bit.ly/hIq9vU

@PhilosophyExp I have already tried it - the result was confusion :) -
@sjzara Okay, it is set up to provoke that result. Williams's point was partly that thought experiments can be misleading. -
@PhilosophyExp There was an interesting tension between what I believed to be true, and what I was prepared to risk, in terms of identity. -
@sjzara Those things must be related, because what's the risk otherwise...? -
@PhilosophyExp Great fun to think about. I have some Williams books on my kindle, on my 'to read' list. Must get around to it.
