whether a bunch of images are separate, or are they a part of a movie is a matter of whether you can spot images being switched

Same goes for personality and "sameness" of pourself.

After all, we remember and forget all the time, our bodies physically change. I'd dare to suggest that most people still consider you to be you even if you'd lose a limb in some kind of tragic circumstances. Same goes for memories.

Continuity of existence is a charade that we're willingly playing, bc it's easier that way.
