      Are you the same person you were 15 years ago? Your name is the same. So is your social security number. But those were assigned to you by an external party.

      You look different, feel different, act different. Are you the same person you were yesterday?

        That’s like the old ship problem. If I build a ship and then replace every part of it over time, is it still the same ship?
