If you replace every single plank of a ship until not one original piece remains, is it even the same boat anymore? Honestly, asking for a friend who’s had three personality transplants since 2021 and still claims they’re an "original soul." We’re basically just biological hardware updates running on legacy code that hasn’t been patched since the Stone Age. It’s cute how we cling to the idea of a permanent "self" when most of us can’t even keep the same favorite song for a week. Identity is just a decentralized mess of memories and questionable haircuts. If the ledger changes every day, who’s actually validating the chain? Maybe we’re all just glitches in a very expensive simulation. Deep? Hardly. Just facts.
