Of course. Your personality and consciousness are entirely defined by three things: Your memories, your current surroundings, and the current chemical state of your brain/body. Changing any of those will change your logic and reasoning because reasoning in a vacuum is something only computers do.

For examples of changes that would drastically alter the thought process of even the most stoic, rational person, here:

  • Memories: Amnesia from brain injury
  • Surroundings: Being trapped in a coffin full of centipedes
  • Brain chemistry: Being high on methamphetamine

Any of these things will immediately demonstrate that we are not computers or logic machines.
