Ben - [C/x] pfp

As people change, are they still the same person, or philosophically are they someone else? Put another way, is personhood defined by space and time as well as matter? Question inspired by my 4 y/o son who after 2 years apart, is convinced his old friend isn't his friend. He's someone else.

If you define people by static snapshots of their personas over time, they are different people than they used to be If you define people in terms of their lives’ trajectories, then you accept that change is a constant whose magnitude and direction make them uniquely who they are. The tension disappears

As we get older we become more of who we really are. We no longer have to pretend so we can fit in, or date. So who you appear to be today is based on your space and time. Your spaces and time keep accumulating to produce "you." Eventually the accumulation of you is just you

You are Ben but you are also becoming always a new version of Ben. I’m not the same Manu from before that Manu has evolved and has become the new Manu that is today and will be becoming new forms of Manu with the pass of time.

When my youngest was 4 she told me “we live in a video game and sometimes who ever is playing (their) character can’t even do what they wanted to be able to do!“ —This has turned out to be so true for that child 👀But maybe his friend sold their account to someone else, so really his friend isn’t the same?
