[@WillyBluefield]

Hold your hand over a candle and you're a body, dream your dreams of eternity and the endless reaches of time and the universe and you're a soul.

I believe a professor of cognitive psychology would be better position to shed like on "what makes you, you." First, one must define "you" and that is brain activity and memory. "You" are reconstructed constaintly by the brain that makes changes based on genetics and experiences.

That is not even remotly truth. Just search up the extended mind. And even than this quote is apt "In our world," said Eustace, "a star is a huge ball of flaming gas." Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is, but only what it is made of"
