Daniel Dennett – What is the Nature of Personal Identity?

The message of the video is how our memories and experiences create a personal identity. The video explains personal identity as one’s self. The video further theorizes that our bodies are just “meat suits” filled with experiences and memories that create the self.

Key Takeaways:

• No matter what you do you must have some non physical component some soul to make this happen.
• The standard understanding is that one self per body.
• Multiple personality disorder now its called Dissociative identity disorder.

“What makes a self is a whole big collection of memories and projects and plans and likes and dislikes, a psychological profile.”
