I love it. Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean. And I promise I’m not trying to argue, just exploring the boundary.

What if your body was injured and it became comatose. Then your brain was uploaded to a computer where you regained consciousness.

Are you the same person? Which one is you? If the computer were turned off, is the body you? If the body dies, is the mind you? What if your mind were loaded into a different body? What if your body has a different mind loaded onto it?

What I’m really trying to get at is: are you the composite of your body + your consciousness? How much would either one have to change to not be you?

I’m mid-40s and not at all the same person I was in my 30s, which was very different from my 20s, which was very different from my teens, etc. What makes you certain that you’re the same person? What is there about you that, if it changed, would make you not the same person? I’m honestly curious about your perspective.

It raises the Ship of Theseus issue. Did he really survive if he was a different person after?
