THE SOUL

do i/we just feel we have souls bc we have a social identity/self awareness/are aware of our own presence???
eg: the ship of theseus theory. if one replaced every part of my soul/identity over time would one be classed as the same person even though ones identity/values arent the same but visually one still looks 'similar'

thought this bc thinking about why fam still think of my as little 'deadname'
dont feel like the same person at all!!
at first i thought this meant we dont have souls but now thinking about it mayb could but have entirely different ones over time.

life is the ongoing biological processes.

we have the potential to be multiple people however we cant selectively become certain ppl as we'll never know the right 'ingredients' to become them. and also are attached to the consciousness of the body we are in.
