yet, that would also mean the individual is dispensible, and in real world terms what is this single being, where is it, whats it purpose? also where when did this being form, does it include cro-magnum and neanderthal man or just modern homo-sapien, if only the later why? does this only include human life or the animal kingdom also? what is the purpose of the individual then if we are not unique (if its just for experience, experience for what purpose), what is the purpose of this single entity, is it consciece of itself?
