You Are Not Your Brain Or Your Body by Tim Urban
I found this essay from 2015 but sadly, not a video, so I made it myself. If you're Tim Urban, feel free to copyright claim this video. I just thought it deserved a video.

Very few of the ideas or thought experiments in this post are my original thinking. I read and listened to a bunch of personal identity philosophy this week and gathered my favorite parts together for the post. The two sources I drew from the most were philosopher Derek Parfit’s book Reasons and Persons and Yale professor Shelly Kagan’s fascinating philosophy course on death—the lectures are all watchable online for free.
