What even is identity, anyway?
@Felthry For what it's worth, one area of specialization for philosophers is the study of identity and the deep answer is ... we really don't know, and when we look at it seriously, we have a *really* hard time coming up with a logically coherent idea. And *then* you throw psychological and biological experiments in and things get *even worse*.
There's a school of thought that 'identity' is conceptual gibberish and we're better off ditching the idea altogether.

Maybe the Buddha was right all along?
