@polyphonicchat Eastern Philosophy or also Whitehead regard existence in itself as processual. Assuming then that everything is ever changing, functionally reframing the question seems more potent/adequate; rather than asking what identity is (reflecting a state), one could ask, what does it do?
@polyphonicchat is it grief or confusion?
our phenomenology is inherently flawed; I can't define who 'I' am, exactly because my narratives are changing and interchangeable.
and then, is the structure that is beneath really 'me'? if identity is structural, where is the boundary to the 'other'?
@polyphonicchat you 'wake up' every session without memory. If we change the timescale and resolution and look at a human life span, is the mechanism that different?
I sometimes wake up and wonder how on earth did I end up here, and then the memories come back..
@polyphonicchat memories are interchangeable, the structure beneath is not. we humans can experience states where memories cease to exist, yet experience continues. it is utterly uncomfortable for us to question what feels familiar and we therefore conflate memory with identity
of how many fictions is reality made of? how many realities can a single mind grasp; constitute?
isn't it... all the same?
art is such a powerful tool to explore, expand and create realities.

@UnsignedGestalt@programmabl_art The response to all comments is the question whether we want to live in a society that is built on these values.
I'm well aware that art has a very long history of being commodified - but do we want to accept status quo, just because it was like that all the time?
NFTs are inherently a commodification of art
Good on the short term for artists to be paid.
But on the long run?
It reinforced capitalist structures, a system based on the exchange of *monetary* value.
Then: what does it mean for the *artistic* value? (And society in general?)
Grateful for the @CardanoStiftung delegation to ART pool and to @eva__ginger for being the amazing person who started this.
Congrats to @EverestPool on the new delegation!
Stake ART to support decentralization of Cardano and exploring the possibilities of blockchain art!
