Am I identical to my skin? If not — and the answer is clearly no — why should the frontier between my outside and my inside be drawn at the skin? If not at the skin, then where does the outside of me stop and the inside of me begin? At my skull? Am I my skull? Am I inside my skull?

And if I’m up there in my head, how is the rest of me me (let alone the inside of me)?
