what constitutes one's identity? (1 Viewer)

^^

I think it hinges entirely on belief, and that once a person stops believing that their identity is the same, then their identity has changed
even if a person has turned entirely into a cyborg, as long as their algorithm and belief that they are the same remains constant, then their identity is the same; same goes towards others' perception of another's identity

it's like theseus' ship or that french philosopher dude's paragraph about identity and what makes a person themselves that another person would love them for: appearances fade, personalities change, fortunes reverse, nothing about humans remain constant yet we always hold onto the concept of identities as stagnant and constant as santa claus' generosity
