Labels

My guess is that a society canโ€™t survive as a cohesive polity when everyone demands their own individuated identity with its own label. That seems to lead only to fracture and dissolution. Is there a path that doesnโ€™t lead this way with everyone having their own private and fiercely-guarded identity and pronouns? Perhaps, but itโ€™s a narrow and perilous one.

Sure is easy to sell things to people, though, if they all believe they are the specialest thing to ever exist, isnโ€™t it?

Capitalists donโ€™t care if the planet burns and a quarter of the population dies as long as profits are made and product moves. And completely individuated pseudo-identities are firmly a capitalist idea just as much as shareholder meetings or IPOs.
