"you" exist physically solely in your heart, your brain isn't really that important to you

you retard that is no ship of theseus case, you get your BRAIN replaced. your experiencing of reality and your conciousness is in the structure and function of your brain, replace it with a TRANSPLANT and no completely same object, because that is physically not possible and youre still in the brain that was removed. YOU are YOUR consciousness.

no citation needed. try to shot yourself in the head and you will see that i am right.

Assuming it's possible to do a brain transplant, I don't think so. Your unique consciousness is stored in the physical structure of your brain and every brain is different.

Since the brain doesn't just house the consciousness, it IS consciousness, no.

if you need proof of this, consider people who receive traumatic brain injury and undergo rapid changes in personality. or any of the number of brain diseases which do the exact same thing.

the brain and consciousness are for all practical purposes the same thing, or so closely entwined that we cannot meaningfully differentiate them.
