hiring a consultant philosopher to explain to the Massachusetts health insurance administration that although there are indeed many open questions raised by neurology, plurality, spiritual experiences, Jacob Geller videos, etc., as a general rule our society assumes that identity is continuous and resides in the body
and my body, again despite the Ship of Theseus effect of osteoclasts and osteoblasts etc. replacing a large portion of its cells and tissues over the years, is still considered by most authorities to be the same one I had when I changed my name
ERGO AND THEREFORE AND HENCEWISE, I AM THE SAME PERSON AS MYSELF WITH MY PREVIOUS NAME
I think this latest call directed me to the correct form for claiming residency if you can't produce paperwork with the right name, so I'll share the link, but with the warning that it hasn't worked yet.
