[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9069487, member: 6696971"] This is very interesting both (a) as a piece of commentary from you that pushes back against your lead post and (b) as a singular element of internal heterogeneity in the corpus of your contributions that I have read (not sure I would have predicted this particular lament coming from you). I'm going to try to change your mind a little. No one who knows me would confuse me for someone who leans "woo." I am not that guy. However, how about this. It seems to me that human life is a never-ending process of self-discovery and recontextualization. We aren't finished products. We never are. We are constantly churning. And in that churn we find out things about ourselves...or hell...we make it up. Then we do it again. Then we're dead and maybe we've left behind loved ones or a legacy that does the same thing about us in our stead. So I guess I'm saying I'm not sure the "I can't do jack about it now" lament is warranted. Just keep moving (you and with your character or whatever new thing). That strikes me as a fair enough "case against continuity." [/QUOTE]
