Let's say there was a way to make a duplicate of yourself. Assume it's a perfect copy that is identical to you in every way, except that the copy is legally your slave/servant. It's easy enough to go through the process knowing you would have someone who always does your bidding, but it might be easy to forget that your copy is also you, with the same experiences and memories. The other you had expected to get a servant, only to realize that you had become the servant. 

 

A truly narcissistic personality would react very badly to this situation. To properly plan for the event you have to prepare yourself to not just be the master, but also the servant. Because both futures face you at the same time, requiring you to be able to anticipate both as they will happen simultaneously to you.

Would you have these qualms about the loom you built?

I didn't notice a question in the OP ...

And who the f**k builds looms ?
