Practical Philosophy, Thursday
"It's been... an eclectic week," Ender said wryly, as he eyed the class. "Within a moment, I've seen people and places change from one thing to something else entirely..."
He picked up a bottle of water. "Now Fandom's got a habit of rearranging our minds and bodies as it is. I've been through changes that were, to put it mildly, ridiculous." He took a sip. "It always leaves me with the question: how much of myself is immutable? I remember the things I've done when I was in another state, generally, but I can rarely understand how I'd get there."
Another sip. Then he put the bottle down.
"Sometimes these changes feel like a variation on me as a theme. As if some part of me is blown up bigger than the rest of me, and smothers the remains. Sometimes it simply wears my face. And sometimes it's me, just shaped differently."
He regarded the class. "Have any of you experienced such changes? How did you feel? And how do you think it relates to you as a person? Do these different versions have something in common with you at all? If so, is there a thread? Or is it all just... randomness?"
