Identity is just a conceptual convention we use. It's all labels. There is no such thing as identity "really."

Again - I can hardly prove this. But, again - I think these views of identity are unsupportable and nonsensical, based on arbitrary premises that nobody in their right mind actually accepts.

Do you think that objects do not really persist because identity seems incompatible with change? If so, do you reject four-dimensionalism as well?

I think identity is epistemological - no, not even that, linguistic - rather than metaphysical.

Ok, but I'm asking why you think that.
