That's it. I'm pretty sure I am not the same person as 4 year old me. We are renewed every single moment.

Indeed, you are not the same as when you were 4. However, you are almost certainly quite similar to what you were a year ago, because your brain does not completely rewire in such a short period.

That would simply point to the futility of searches involving the word 'same' outside mathematics, except that we can talk, for example, about two individuals of the same species. This suggests that sameness is best left a part of taxonomy.
