Anonymous says, I really like the conversation with Brian Lowry on the socially constructed nature of the self. Is this secret sauce an innate self that I have after all, or is my intuition wrong and my just another Spider-Man? It's possible to socially construct an identity that's detached from any physical or tangible living thing. You are a bundle, a jumble of different impulses and thoughts and social relations in various ways. And so that gives you some freedom. That gives you some agency to shape your notion of self,. especially in response to the social world around you.
