stop pretending to be a person with some "life story" and admit you're a monkey

who you "are" is largely reinforced by what you have told people about yourself

most interactions with acquaintances and friends are them asking, "Oh, how was that Thing You Told Me About?"

so you're constructing an identity by what you reveal about yourself to people. You could be an aspiring tech entrepreneur, a suicidal divorcee with a DUI hearing this week, a hobo investigating a national conspiracy

i think it's even more extreme than that. we're only ever playing roles as human beings. our thoughts and behavior automatically conform to whatever role we're currently playing, and these roles are defined by the social situations/surroundings that we're in. it's all done automatically by our brain and is not conscious or something that we have control over

interesting. yeah very deterministic world we live in

one could try to change the social situations/surroundings that they're in, but in doing so, they're still performing as The Kind Of Person Who Would Do That Sort Of Thing
