Not sure if this is helpful, but instead of contrast, I see these as two sides of the same coin. If the world is X, then I am a person living in X. But if the world is actually Y, then I am a person living in Y. Both change.
I can be a different person in the same world, but I can’t be the same person in different worlds. At least if I take ideas seriously and I want to have an impact on the world.
