   @Arcana @MercurialBuilding @mja @allison yes, you can decide to change your values. it's just that that decision is coming from yourself, and not from something else

     @MercurialBuilding @Arcana @mja @allison a person is a dynamic thing; it's a path, not a node in and of itself. "you" are a 4-dimensional autopoetic object that includes both your past, present and future
     
     on a similar note, there's no actual difference between objects and events, it's just a matter of whether they're mostly timelike or spacelike

     @nemesis @Arcana @mja @allison can they be defined as the same person if they value different things? I figure if, through some magic, maybe brain surgery, if you can change what you value, you're a different person.

     no, because Mercurial-1 and Mercurial-2 are different nodes; they can genuinely value different things. it's just that Mercurial-2 is "implicit" in Mercurial-1 in some sense

     @nemesis @Arcana @mja @allison shoutouts to Der ubermensch ey? How can anyone change what they value? You're always gonna wanna food and water, of course. Maybe you decide you want to play pokemon less and after a while have less of a drive to do so, but you didn't value pokemon, you valued whatever feeling it gave you, which you're still gonna want
