you are just trying to find ways to increase your arguments and philsophy is not a good place for that.
you do become something other than yourself if you do not think or process things the same way you did. you are not just defined by being an individual, you are defined by how you relate to the world around you and how the world relates to you.
philsophy is not difinitive. each philsopher has had a different set of views and there are numerous field of philsophy wach containing their own basic views which are deconstructed or built on by other philsophers.
perhaps you need a refresher course in philosophy.
