If every cell in your body replaces itself, your opinions shift, and your feelings change from year to year, what exactly makes you the same person you were as a toddler? This episode tackles the ancient puzzle of personal identity through vivid thought experiments—like a ship rebuilt plank by plank and a photo album that tells two very different stories.
