Pardon me for my usual ignorance, I haven't been keeping up with this
debate during the various times it has surfaced over the last couple of
years, but...

Since I am not Ian

        Alex = !Ian

...does Ian believe that it somehow follows that we are in fact the same
person? Or can only the sum of everyone and everything in the universe
that is also not Ian add up to an Ian equivalent?
        Given that the universe can be defined in terms of its
non-Ian-ness, in what way should this change my beliefs, behavior, or the
manner in which I predict events that have yet to happen?
