In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it’s something like “I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same”. Sometimes, they’re able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.

How would you and your duplicate get along? Assume you are living like you do today, in a society where duplication is unheard of and has no legal precedent.

      i’ve learned recently that there’s a surprisingly large number of people that find me attractive despite my size and age; i would 100% create an only fans page with my duplicate to capitalize on this fact. lol

          they somehow find me “charming” so i would have to record myself at least twice, with each time recording one half of a conversation; not that, that’s a bad thing since some small part of me has been looking for a new hobby and video editing might prove to be as lucrative as my last passionate hobby with linux programming. lol
