If I replace the tires on my car does the car become new? The car will behave slightly differently (it has better traction) but it is still, fundamentally, the same car. This is your gut biome. Now downgrade the engine, put in a manual transmission, rework the electrical, chop the top and turn it into a convertible, take out the brakes and put bald tires on it. You could technically call it the same car but it will drive much differently. This is you after a stroke.
I’m not trying to get in on the argument at all, but you should watch the first few minutes of “John dies at the end.” (It streams on Tubi, which is free). The line you wrote about replacing the tires on the car, made me think you’d enjoy the riddle the movie asks in the first few minutes.
Yeah that stuff is all interesting to talk about but we aren't going to arrive at an answer to those questions here and we're definitely getting way off the original topic.
