Do you think that it might be more helpful for everyone to divert attention away from the idea of identity and redirect it towards something like self-concept? Do you think people might have a more healthy vision of themselves? And do you think that obsession with identity that you and Houseplant have seen in people with severe mental illness might actually have better mental health if they could reduce or eliminate that fixation on themselves?

Yes to all these questions.
