Technically reincarnation is for realsies. Your bits and pieces will be used by nature again.

To be even more technical. You are being reincarnated constantly.

We shed skin and cells and those become something else while our own body rebuilds itself constantly from other life.

The only cells in the body that dont change out are neurons.

A lot of proteins stay forever though. Like bones, teeth, and probably a lot of proteins in muscles.

But the cells themselves are always dying and being remade (except neurons).

I’ve been vegan for over a decade, so with constant cell regrowth I’m photosynthesis with extra steps.

Every animal is photosynthesis with extra steps, some just have more steps.

Well yes, that is technically true. It’s just not as funny to say.

thats like the concept of buddhist reincarnation, there is no “soul”, ego is illusion in buddhism

like a stream of consciousness constantly travelling through cycles
