The other minds paradox all but assures reincarnation. To think any semblance of self maintains beyond the realm that bore it ignores the very nature of all one's known existence. And even if it, the semblance of self, could maintain it would only logically do so through DNA. But not only does this further assure reincarnation, but it also says the self experiences those closest to a previous self. Across incarnations this means nothing, but to a self in the moment, it has profound implications. The day-to-day stigma of life would alter dramatically if this could be realized. And what would this mean of the abstinent? And what roles would we fill if we saw each other as a genuine collective of selves split across timed experience? Not the 2D "love thy neighbor" or "just be kind" bumper-sticker mentality, but completely shed egos and ids to allow identity to be immaterial, as it is beyond our physicality, and bodies to be the tools that harmonize with what lets the self be.
Both loops of a mobius strip, the infinity, can themselves loop on and on infinitely as well on either side. But as stone and mud--as bone and blood--raised of this planet, we can continue to explore its infinitely budding loops known as we and them, or we can look back at the core and poles of our planet that pump hot iron and electromagnetize plasma and see the singular loop around and of us that eddies into life. Our life, and all life. We can ignore our viral, "reproduce and conquer" primitiveness in favor of giving back just as much as we take. Nourishing and protecting the home, not our homes, and our kin, not our kind, until the eye of time much grander than our own blinks us away as the wisping dust of a dream.
