Xian: "nothing truly “dies”"Things that are alive will die. We are alive, therefore we will die. The chair I am sitting on is not alive, therefore it will not die.
This is where it gets more thinky, because the molecules that are part of us will eventually be replaced, and yet we remain individuals who are alive. Thus, there are no molecules that are alive, only transient collections of them that are considered to be part of a living thing.
Don’t get too comfortable, your quest for whatever you think is the real you is likely to become a lot more complicated and uncomfortable.
