Uniqueness

If everyone is unique, is that really unique?

semantically- unique, in the wiktinary, is defined as "the only one of its self", the key operative being "self"; everyone is a superset of "self", and therefore uniqueness does apply...

mathematically- "everyone" is/are/ as unique as "every number"; there is a duality to being a stand-alone unit of humanity/mathematical expression, each having general, brief definition, accompanied by specific, concise description...

the answer, to me, is "yes"...and "no"...or, more precisely..."both!"...


...peace...

doc, who is /not/ the soul of brevity...sigh...lol...

Thanks Doc .... there's no question that you're unique ... I wasn't expecting such deep thought. It feels good that I wasn't proven completely wrong ... just maybe, kinda, sorta wrong ...
