That was probably true back in olden times when Buddha was writing his college thesis on that, but there’s at least like 30 different people today and I’m not one of them.
There are some people in there that actually aren’t that different. Shawn vs Sean sort of thing. Probably closer to 20 people in 2014, crypto/AI/politics really gummed things up.
Deity belief doesn’t really come into this. I presume since you’re atheist, you’re existentialist, but at that point you still have to define what you’re responsible for and why. How much do you want to survive in this universe and for how long? What do you want to get out of it and how much? What do you consider to be the border of “you” and “not you”?
No no, everyone else ISN’T me. It’s a common misconception. As opposed to forgetting to take your fertility pill before having sex, that’s a common missed conception, hey oh!
Like… the current state of affairs everywhere? Cause I’m not sure I can take ownership of EVERYTHING.
but buddha says we’re one with everything so technically this is your fault.

Sorry I’m an atheist, I’m only responsible for my own shit.

I’m me, everything else isn’t.
Where do you define the boundary of “I” though? Your brain? Your body? The stuff you say is yours? Your microbiome? Your thoughts? Your actions?
I’m only an expert on me, you’ll need to ask someone else who isn’t me.
Why? I’m asking you who “you” are. Sounds like you may not know, which may cause difficulties.
Who knows one best than the ones one knows?
says who
The opposite of everyone who isn’t me.
who’s that though? everyone is you afaik.
