What do you mean when you talk about "identity" here?

[โ€“] ZIRO 0 points 2 years ago

I suppose, more specifically, self identity as defined by one's belonging to any number of a given set of social groups (e.g., fandom. nation, gender, race, religion, socioeconomic class, etc.)

I more or less believe that the concept of the self or of one's identity is arbitrary: that there really is no self to identify.
