'I', in the sense of my own subjective self, does not exist.
Consider the following definition of 'exist':
A thing exists if there is a way for at least two independent observers to verify it, such that their observations match sufficiently.
Now, whereas 'I' (that is, Dace associated with this blog) exist in a certain sense (for you I am a you or a him), my interior subjective 'I' is not accessible to any of you except me. Therefore 'I' fails the test of existence as defined above.
Therefore, 'I' do not exist.
Striking in the simplicity of its observation.
