Quick reminder to myself

scalyshoujoGonna kinda take a moment to give myself a lecture. I figure I can afford to be a little arrogant sometimes, but not all the time, so basically reminding myself not to be overly reckless.
In the interest of keeping myself relatively humble and self-aware, I'm going to take a moment to remind myself that while I have a lot of spiritual beliefs, I don't hold most of them to be absolute truth, as I believe myself to still be quite naive and ignorant. The only thing I feel that I know for sure is that souls exist, but I don't pretend to know where they come from or how they work, and the whole "souls existing" thing is based on my personal experience and not something I can prove, so I understand if people don't believe me.
Also on a more scientific note, I feel that any sufficiently advanced computer simulations of me are in fact the same person as me in every way that counts, regardless of whether or not we share the same soul. I wouldn't want those simulations to be tormented out due to my sense of quantum self preservation.
Okay! Self-lecture over. I guess that I was my equivalent of that line from that one Who song that goes "If I should swallow anything evil, put your finger down my throat."
