Yeah, whatever happened to your sheep, and your societies of robots? And
didn't you get banished from earth in a space shuttle once, doomed to
forever roam the universe without any contact with other human beings?
Come to think of it we still haven't established whether or not you are
actually a computer. I like these kind of riddles because even if we
never agree on the answers at least there is a clear point of reference.
And of course they're great for passing the time on the subway.

Well come on Boo. I'm still casting my vote for basic
quality/morality/reality (formated around a specific question though),
but if you want some help with self-questions how about:
* If I programed all my history and values into a computer would it be
me?
* Suppose there is a teleportation system that copies your dna, kills
you then instantaneously builds a perfect copy of you at a different
location would you agree to travel by it?
* Does a dog have a buddha nature?
* Does Chris Pirsig exist?
* If I get drunk and insult you, then the next morning I apologise
saying "I wasn't myself" should you forgive me?
* I simultaneously want to go drink a can of coke because I like it and
don't want to drink it cos it's not healthy. Who decides?
(...I think that might be the best one)
