If it ''is'', sailor, you are hardly well-positioned to judge which version of yourself is the best one out there. Now maybe there’s a ''better'' version of yourself — one with a keener sense of self-awareness, for example — but, in our working theory, remember, you’re not presently it. You wouldn’t recognise it if it hit you in the face, which there’s a fair chance it would, if the two of you met.
