Persistence of self is an illusion. A person is a process rather than an entity.
P.S. Btw, this makes me doubt the feasibility of teleportation, because not just the molecules, but electrical and chemical activity at a particular moment would need to be recreated.
Indeed, the same way as you can alter a thing, and even stones are worn away by water. But that’s not the point. A person is what is happening inside the meatbag, and every single moment adds to the experiences shaping the self. The person is never the same as they were before.
I’m sure most people understand this (the post’s) concept but they’re evolved to survive. Why talk to someone, with no benefit for doing so, who poses a risk?

Objects are mutable

It was just a joke about your user name lol, sorry, I should have made it more clear.
Is it still ‘object object’ on your side? I removed that long ago, but I guess the change doesn’t propagate to some instances.
Yeah, weird!

Fortune favors the bold.
Also a fool and their head are easily parted.
But also fortune favors the bold…
