I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did Whitehead believe was one of the biggest reasons materialistic thinking endured?
All the background I'm provided with is that "No one questions that a ten-year-old person is quite different by the time he or she turns thirty years old, and in many ways is not the same person at all; Whitehead points out that it is not philosophically or ontologically sound to think that a person is the same from one second to the next.". Is that enough to answer the question?
