Suffice to say, I am me. I'm not you and I am not not here. If the same goes for you, then you'll have to figure that out on your own. Whether or not the atoms in my body are the same or not makes no difference to me if I cannot prevent them from leaving me from one nanosecond to the next.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:14 pm If all the atoms in your body are replaced, is it still you?
HOWEVER, the question still remains. If all the atoms that constitute my body are taken away, then will I see anything if I don't have eyes? Remember anything if I don't have a brain (or even have a single thought for that matter without neurons), hear anything if I don't have ears, feel good after having sex if there is no dopamine, and so on. I'm not in a hurry to die and have my body completely decay in order to find out (though I sometimes think being cremated might be better than being pickled and placed in a casket in the ground to slowly rot for however long it takes to turn into inorganic dust under those circumstances).
