For some reason, this term made me envision a Dr. Seuss book called
"Xox in Socks." It would present these immortality questions to
children in Dr. Seuss rhyme.
Would you be you inside a box?
Would you be you inside a Xox?
Would you be you outside your head?
Would you be you if you were dead?
Would you be you if you were me?
Would you be you if you were three?
If you were you and you and you,
would you not be just you, but who?
One fish,
Two fish,
Old fish,
New fish!
