Yes, but that won’t solve philosophical problems such as, “if it looks
like me and acts like me is it really me?”
I didn't realize that was a problem. I've heard of people who don't
recognize themself in a mirror. But if they ask "Is it really me." the
"it" tells me it's not really them. If it were really them, they'd ask,
"Am I really me." to which the answer would be "Yes."
