@KongoLandwalker Well, maybe. The person I used to be 20 years ago does not particularly feel like "me" now. Sure, we share many things, but I would not say that the intuition that "I am still me" is obvious.
@Irigi would you be prisoned for the actions of the molecules that were on your place before? Yes. From the point of law.
"Me" is just a label. It is not based on your characteristics such as personality and memory (which of couse change over time). It is based on structural time-continuity of some matter collection. Some parts of the collection change, some characteristics too, but the collection moves, thinks and acts as a whole.
@Irigi now that we have polls I would have made this a poll question instead of a yes/no market question
