I do believe in my direct family/my clan. I'm not sure how much of my identity that represents though. I'm still struggling to have goals, like proper modern scum.

Clan isn't enough. Even primitive people organize themselves into bigger groups, namely tribes. Humans evolved for tribes just as zebras evolved for herds. People who don't belong to a tribe have a huge evolutionary disadvantage.
