&gt; why am I in my body and not yours?<p>The simplest explanation that doesn&#x27;t appeal to magic is that the &#x27;I&#x27; is created by the activity of the CNS (etc) of a body.<p>That seems completely satisfactory to me. It&#x27;s like asking why the engine sounds of my car are in my car and not in your car.<p>A related answer is &quot;because that&#x27;s where your eyeballs are&quot;. If you wear a good VR headset, you can be somewhere other than your body for a while.
