There is no room, no necessity, no possibility for the existence of a personal essence.
“The believe in a self, a soul, a personal essence is like animistic believes (that the sun is alive, that there are gods in the trees, that a falling stone wants to fall down). A unnecessary hypothesis. “I” am the product of my genes and my upbringing. There is no room, no necessity, no possibility for the existence of a personal essence.”
