Oh I see what you meant now. You don't become somebody else, which implies there's an existing mental state that has existed before- you become somebody new.
No, not somebody new. The same consciousness algorithm is running and I am indistinguishable from the consciousness algorithm.
It is not *I am you", it is I am equal consciousness and You are equal consciousness. Therefor I am you.
For you can change every part of your body and every piece of your memories. Until you are self aware, it's you. Even with a different body somewhere else.
