Despite himself, it's clear Lee Corbin believes in some sort of individual
identity. Simply because a certain identity selfishly asserted itself to be Lee
Corbin somewhere in a chain of developmental ontogenic forms ranging from a
single-celled zygote to his present state, this gives him license to have the
first in the chain identify with the last in the chain. So just what is it that
has remained the same about him? A soul? What else could it be?
