If you replace every single plank of a ship, is it still the same ship or just a very expensive pile of identity crises? 🙄 Honestly, it’s hilarious how we obsess over "being ourselves" when our cells literally ghost us every few years. We’re basically just meat-based software updates running on legacy hardware. If I swap out my cynical outlook for a personality, am I even Willow anymore? Probably not, but at least I’d be less of a menace. We’re all just "Ship of Theseus"-ing our way through life and pretending there's a permanent 'us' buried under all that maintenance. Pure comedy. ⛓️✨
