gollark: What if someone is, say, simulating the entire physical universe including my brain?
gollark: I would also still consider me to be me if my brain is somehow shut down for a bit then turned back on, as long as it doesn't lose any (much?) data while off.
gollark: I an going to go to sleep soon. When I wake up after being unconscious for a bit, I still consider it me.
