The I in Will and Team in Testament

The author, Simon, reflects on signing new wills and testaments after moving countries and marrying, and concludes that writing one in the "post-individual era" means condensing many selves into a single document, with "Yosotros" (a collective "I" and "We" term) offered as a way to see the collective self. He ties his unease to the law's layered "legal fictions," to crypto-mediated certainty, and to Yancey Strickler's essay on the post-individual. He says he avoids alternate identities because energy spent on one identity is taken from another. The rest of the newsletter covers his running deload week, a Phantom Menace rewatch, and links to commentary on publishing and homepages.
