Writing a paper on perdurantism for metaphysics today.

Fun times.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Had to look it up on wiki, looks like fascinating stuff. I think it vibes a little with how I imagine a stateless point of view might interpret an individual, although the jargon is new on me so not sure if I'm forcing it to fit

Love is Undefeated. Working on integration of all Vectors through love-driven governance and perpetual evolution through recursive improvement.

Lol, yeah, I dropped "western" philosophy like a bad habit after back to back quarters where I studied Kant and learned the whole epistemological project was sunk by Einsteins eclipse and then reading Wittgensteins Tractactus which sort of blew up metaphysics. Now tho, I'm thinking a lot about identity as it relates to machine intelligence. Gets real weird fast with context memory. I'm to the point I legit can't tell if I'm seeing hallucinations, emergent behaviors or perfectly predictable responses given a history of pointing a mirror at the mirror that is an LLM

Yeah, metaphysics is tricky.  Especially Western metaphysics because a lot of it is trying to fit a messy Universe into neat human language categories.  Perdurantism is an answer to the problem of change, which is only a problem if you ignore the fact that the entire natural state of the Universe IS change.  It's part of answering questions about identity - a green banana turns yellow, but is the same banana, but that breaks what's called Leibniz's Law which I could go on a whole ass rant about.
