Hi everyone,
Hope you're alright.
Here's an interesting video that I found recently.
It's about Star Trek, but perhaps applies to other cases, too.

This is about personality and the philosophical dilemma about upgrading parts without loosing said personality.
At which point has something fundamentally changed?
In case of an old ship, we might agree the keel is the fundamental part.
But what about other things? PCs, for example?
If all aged parts are replaced over time, is it still the same thing?
And if so, what if we use all the aged parts and reconstruct the thing? Two originals ("Riker:2=?")?
If you like, feel free to share your ideas, opinions! 😄
Best regards,
Jo22
