This is an interesting pic.

But the brain is the body too 🤨

And how can you be the body? Every cell in your body is replaced numerous times over your lifetime, yet your consciousness stays the same.

And there are 380 trillion viruses in your body and 30 trillion bacteria, yet only about 40 trillion cells with your own DNA.

Incredibly ignorant picture isn't it? If you think about it for more than three seconds you'll realize how ridiculous it is. If you would like to read more on the actual heart of the issue in this picture I would suggest this entry to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-personal/

I prefer Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus when it comes to philosophy but thanks for the link back to Ninth Grade.
