i agree that they’re tepid and mundane conclusions, but the way people think about their identities are not tepid!
tbh i don’t have a great brief-article length piece that summarizes my views on the topic. tl;dr i don’t think the common notion of identity is defensible, there is no authentic self to unearth, and i have no interest in constructing one myself. the subject that is me is constituted by the
identities i do have, and it’s not as simple as naively “opting out”. resist as far as contextually practicable against something entirely contrary to my interests
