Q1b. Are you the same person you were yesterday?


I think yes, and the answer is more concrete for "oneself", since the molecules that make-up oneself are all accelerating and decelerating with you/as you in your own reference frame.


I mean, apart from cells and etc dying and being replaced as we age. ;)

Truly, the Ship of Theseus was inside us all along. (Which is super convenient, considering how often we step into the same river twice!)
