^ If you go to Britney Spears' page it actually doesn't mention "queen of pop" anywhere.
Also "Britney Spears Queen of Pop Since 92, Teen Pop music revival." is a sentence with way too many errors, seems like it was added by some eager fan.

That's just a rewording of the ancient Theseus's paradox. It doesn't matter, there is no correct answer so whatever answer you choose is correct.
I swear every time I come up with a new idea I find out that people have been thinking about it for millennia. lol

Although I disagree that it doesn't matter. If you and future you aren't the same person, then it's a huge shift in many areas of philosophy. For example, if it's true than ethical egoists should logically be shortsighted about their decisions.

It also greatly changes the relation that we have with death and immortality. If me 20 years in the future is not me then it means that in a way I will be dead in 20 years and the person there will only be an echo. It also completely negate the possibility immortality as traditionally understood as if medicine somehow manages to completely reverse aging, we would still not be immortal. Rather, our immortal body would be like an infinite echo hosting an infinite number of different persons.

This assumes that you can take a snapshot of someone tens of years apart while ignoring everything that happens in between. Yes, if you just pulled out a new copy body out of your ass, I'd agree that it is not the same person. However, in reality, the process of change is constant and gradual. With every new step, there's something else added to the list, and something taken out. If we assume that just a single one newly acquired atom is to be a part of you, then every atom acquired one at a time is also you. There is no jump in your composition, so you are always you. Even if by the end nothing of the original you remains.

There's also a problem of the soul, if one chooses to believe in it, that makes the argument moot. As it is the soul that ascribes identity, not the body and the body's composition is a moot point.

Personally I wouldn't even be comfortable with teleportation which deconstructs you on a molecular level then reconstructs you. In reality you'd be killing yourself and creating a clone of yourself at that very moment of teleportation. I'd only really be for wormhole style teleportation where you aren't deconstructed.

Anything that can end consciousness I wouldn't do, even GitS style brain uploading into a cyborg brain I wouldn't do. I'd have to have Replicator (Stargate) style assimilation of my own brain by nanites that would transform everything to superior hardware all while conscious. The nanite route is the only route other than brain transplants, as far as I'm concerned.

Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

I rarely have headaches and I try to stay away from meds as well. When I have one bad enough though I use Advil LiquiGels and they kick in pretty fast.

If I have headaches strong enough to make me take meds (not more than once a year), then it's always aspirin for me. Though that one pack (20 tablets) I bought, is still mostly untouched. i used two myself, and I gave one to someone else. It's already over half a year past the expiration date too, but as long as it's not brown, it should be fine^^
