Here's my two cents worth, (and Canadian too!). Even if it was possible for someone to be exposed to the same material and "life scenes" as I was up until this point, it is unlikely that that person would be "identical" to me.
Person X could read every book, watched every TV show and been party to every conversation I've ever had and so on...but 'X' would receive different points from those exposures than I did. Whether it was a commercial that caught more/less notice than I gave or a passage of the book that was skimmed instead of read word for word.
Is 'X' going to be moved by the exact scenery while bicycling as I was? Possible though not likely.
Individuality seems to be like a colour wheel. From three primary colours we blend to secondary, tertiary and so on up to the 16 000 000 colours Pshop and Illustrator deal with. That is also limited by the RGB of the screen or CMYK of your printer. Human interaction isn't limited that way.
I shall now be known as Colour 16 000 001 and counting!
