@TheCrashCourse on the Philosophy of #identity - and #DualIdentity Rumors-Confirmed and/or -Dispelled (You Mean THAT PERSON is/isn't Actually THAT OTHER PERSON?) | #StarByFace #Identical #FakeID #ID #Identify #Identifiable #Identically
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a way to see which celebrities look a lot like you) stands on ancient words that serve as the foundations of our Mind-Palace ...
The word "Identity" is built on ancient words that mean "the |Same" (|Idem).
Additional 'loci' in this 'room':
Ship of Thesius, "Around," Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Indiscernibility of Identicals, Properties, Alan Gibbard's Lumpl/Goliath, Essential- & Accidental properties (from Trees to Books), Existentialists, Heraclitus (you can't step into the same River twice), Persistent identity, Fungibility
The link above says that I 'could be portrayed by-' (or 'could portray-,' with 32-to-26% accuracy)-George 'regular at the bar "Cheers"' Wendt, Chris 'typically "tough guy"' Penn, Robert 'Murphy Brown's handyman' Pastorelli, JC 'NSYNC-er' Chasez, Bill 'Not Ready for Prime-Time' Murray, Billy 'Piano Man' Joel, Masi 'Hiro on "HEROES"' Oka, Kal 'either "Harold" or "Kumar"' Penn.
On other celebrity-lookalike sites (or with other pictures of mine), I've been compared to Wayne 'Jerry Seinfeld's neighbor NNNewman!' Knight, Robert 'Freddy Kruger' Englund, Jason "Jerry's friend George Costanza" Alexander & Ethan "Neelix the Talaxian" Phillips.
The fake picture I use in some places (a morph of me-&-'Kelsey Grammer's Beast') bears a 32% resemblance to DeForest 'STAR TREK's Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy' Kelley. Another picture of me, a 30% resemblance to James "The Blacklist" Spader. Another, a 31% resemblance to Guillermo del Toro (director of BLADE II, HELLBOY, HELLBOY II, etc.). Another, a 28% Jeremy Piven (from ENTOURAGE). Another, 28% Masi Oka (Hiro in HEROES).
Another, 26% Dave (WWE) Bautista. & 31% comedian Chris Elliot. & 26% comedian Ricky Gervais. & 32% Chris 'Not Ready for Prime-Time' Farley. Another, ... I don't wanna say ... →→→→
I see 'Fungible Celebrities' enough to 'start a list' of people who look so similar that you suspect that they're actually 'the same person' ... for example:
- Zach 'Sheila's host' Galfianakis & Chuck "Walker, Texas Ranger" Norris
- James Michael "Gunther from F*R*I*E*N*D*S" Tyler & Teller (of Penn-&-Teller)
- Johnathan Taylor Thomas (from HOME IMPROVEMENT) & movie-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt
- sitcom-star Laurie Metcalf & Janet "JESSICA JONES' mom" McTeer
- Elijah 'hobbit Frodo Baggins' Wood & Tobey "Spiderman" Maguire
Maybe you can tell the difference between the two individuals of each pair; but technology today! they can do all sorts of things! make one person into a totally-different person (and then have that person & the made-up person in the same room, to "prove" they're different people ... etc.)
