In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it’s something like “I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same”. Sometimes, they’re able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.
How would you and your duplicate get along? Assume you are living like you do today, in a society where duplication is unheard of and has no legal precedent.
nah, if it’s an exact copy of me why wouldn’t it just act like me?
Do his farts smell the same as mine? Then no, sorry dude you’ve gotta go live somewhere else.
Probably spend the first couple of days fucking and then figure out what happens next after that.
Yes, cause I operate under Highlander Rules.
I’ve seen so many TV shows, movies, even commercials where a clone or future self doesn’t get along with his twin. I don’t understand this. I think I’d get along swimmingly with myself. I mean what’s better than spending time with someone who thinks like you do?
So far my identical twin has not killed me nor have I killed them, so I’d be safe probably.
I wouldn’t feel compelled to kill my clone, so I don’t think my clone would feel compelled to kill me either.

It’s starting already!
I’m one of the copies and I’m more charming than the original that I killed.
I’d give him the keys, the passwords, and wish him good luck with my life. BUH BEYE!
If he’s you and you want to be free of your life and wish it could be someone else’s problem then your duplicate is just going to run a mile and thank their lucky stars for this break.
No, we would work together on tasks. I would walk to work while Other Me would take my car and get errands done. Or to change things up a little, Other Me could walk to work and I would run errands.
Hell, Other Me could play my online games and make progress while I’m at work. I’ve been meaning to level up my Black Mage in FFXIV, but life has kept me busy.
In the evenings, we would have to clearly explain to each other what we did that day and who we interacted with. Otherwise we risk diverging into two different people.
I’d finally have a reliable coop gaming partner. Neither of us would squander that truly priceless gift.
Also, you can just work either double the time or half each.
Oh god, two of me! 😂
I think she’d keep telling me dumb jokes while trying to compete with me in drawing, and late at night she’d send me goofy memes that I’d laugh at.
