Identity

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

a = b asserts that a and b name the same individual; identicals are intersubstitutable everywhere.

Show

Watch for

Identity is a relation between things, not names. The names differ; the individual doesn't.
