The metaphysical identity problem is a slippery slope of existential dread. It starts with Theseus asking if his ship is the same one after he replaces every one of it’s planks. It accelerates to asking if we would be the same person after being teleported. It ends with us laying awake in bed terrified that this moment is our last because maybe we’re a different consciousness when we wake up.
