    You’ve shed and replaced every atom that you were made of when you were born and many times over since then, are you still that same entity?

      Yeah, but you didn’t shed them all at once. If the ship of Theseus exploded, and then they built a new one, the question wouldn’t be, “Which is the true ship of Theseus?” it would be, “Hey, did you guys see Theseus’ new ship?”

        It’s all just abstract philosophy on a non-reality scenario, I’m just having fun with it.

        On a heavily relative note, though, has anyone watched Space Dandy? The show about a dandy guy in space?
