    I wonder what the Western world wants us to learn from the rise of idenity obsessions

    But I do think is getting impossible to feel unique and individual because of this


    People can't even use say a disability or a nationality to feel unique and individual anymore

    I am not really trying to make this more metaphysical than what it really is, but I beg to wonder what society's increasing obsession with collectivism tells us.

    To be an outsiding independent thinker to society these days is like a threat to the inner society

    Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're the only one who has had such thoughts. It's been happening for thousands of years.

    Oh I know, but I feel like the cycle of identity obsessions is back to stage 1.5

    How do we value people more individually again anyways?
