This comic seems to be about the idea that true identity theft would require the thief to take on the identity perfectly. The thief in the comic is Randall Munroe making fun of himself and how he is often existential and is excited about space... 1st post--173.245.55.78 05:19, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it's a shared account, so it really is Megan's own existentialism & Randall's love of space -- a true crisis! 108.162.216.57 15:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning the contextual element where this comic correlates with the relase of news of a rash of identity theft during the last quarter of 2013?199.27.128.137 00:54, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

The title text is a reference to a Greg Egan short story from the collection Axiomatic called Learning to be Me. 141.101.99.220 01:48, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
