Nah, I include my brain, but I also include my contiguous body and various practices.
If a hair falls out, I’ve changed, but not meaningfully. If a doctor does a biopsy and takes some of my brain tissue, I’ve also changed, hopefully also not meaningfully. If I become a person through injury, illness, or aging who never dances or if I forget how to speak my native language, I’ve also changed.
