What if every human to ever live, or even, every point of consciousness, including mammals, fish, etc. has the exact same "personality", just in different circumstances?

What if every turd to ever be crapped has the exact same smell, just in different circumstances?

that's like saying every soda is just water with different ingredients.

It's impossible to know, even with computers.

Close but no cigar, the ultimate truth is that every human to ever live, or even, every point of personality, including mammals, fish, etc. has the exact same "consciousness", just in different circumstances: in other words, you mixed up consciousness and personality.

What exactly do you mean by "different circumstances"?
If you just mean everybody has different experiences in life or more properly "epigenetic factors" it seems easy to test and falsify this and I'm sure it's been tried already many times.
You can easily put multiple animals in the exact same circumstances and see if their personality comes out the exact same. And I think the results are no they definitely don't UNLESS perhaps you reduce their conditions down so far that "personality" might get stripped away entirely so that they're only operating at a base survival level of consciousness i.e. like a very basic organism.

yeah, dependent origination. personality is a byproduct of the consciousness

I would be someone else if I weren't me. That's right.
I can see where everyone's coming from.

But not only that, they’d have to get all the people that ever lived, not just the ones now. So they got no proof. They got nothing.

some people have a need to do something interesting and other people are just useless eaters
