- But my actions, as an individual, are always irrelevant in that sense;
- if I, and I alone, deserted, the loss would be infinitesimal. The catch
- is, I could never know that I was acting alone ...
- As for worrying about alter egos who desert, or fail or die, there's a
- simple solution: I disown them. It's up to me to define my identity any
- way I like. I may be forced to accept multiplicity, but the borders are mine
- to draw. 'I' am those who survive, and succeed. The rest are someone else.
