The Magic of Identity, Authority, and Memory!

  • Key Text: Memory and context
  • Key Concepts: Identity, Authority, Memory, Perspective, Change, Experience, Neurology.

Identity And Authority

  • Have you ever thought about your identity? Who you are and what makes you 'you'? Quite a thought, isn't it? Our identities are a kaleidoscope of our experiences, choices, and contexts. But, who's the boss of your identity? Well, naturally, it should be you, right?

  • Now, here's the catch. Our identities are always evolving with new experiences and changing perspectives. So, does it mean we can never fully understand ourselves? It's like trying to take a selfie while jumping on a trampoline - you're never quite in the same spot! 📸
