Smart man: “of course babe”
Me: “wait in this hypothetical were you always a worm or like turned into a worm by a wizard or something? Cuz in the first scenario I doubt we’d ever meet, unless I was also a worm. In the second scenario, would you have the cognitive abilities of a worm or would you retain human sapience somehow, even though that’s not physiologically possible as a worm. If the former, would you really still be you, materially speaking? You’ve been reduced to the brain function of a worm, I’d say as a human you’re functionally dead.”
Anyway I’m sleeping on the couch tonight.
Seems like a good idea until you meet someone who’s happier when they know the truth than some comfortable lie.
A comfortable lie? About being a worm? What - are you going to go “so you’d love me if I were a worm but not if I’m a landlord? Woooooow…”
Seems like a game of “first one to think deeply about this question loses.”
