Maybe the only thing that gives you your own sense of self identity is just the fact that you're not, you know, jerrit and the marketing department down the hall and everything that makes him what he is, or marianna the construction worker and what she is. The subtle differences between the words c o w and c a t are comparable to the subtle differences between you and any of the others that surround you. But these thinkers go further than that when it comes to the metaphor of the eight word sentence that we talked about. Look, there are practically an infinite number of potential sentences that you can construct the individual words. And those sentences can be scrambled up in an enormous number of ways, but it's not until they're in a very specific structure that they can start working for us. Thinkers around this time are starting to ask, well, there are practically an infinite number of possible cultures that can exist, a near infinite number of ways for human beings to chop up the universe and organize their societies in a meaningful way. What if it's not until our cultures conform to a very specific structure that they can allow for society to function properly? That even though on the surface, there seem to be massive differences between cultures. Ultimately, they all conform to the same narrow structure humans have used when desperately trying to make a society that not only functions, but one that we can comprehend. That's important, too, hats the other side o this, that the structuralists are going to point out. There are no guarantees in nation building that it's possible to reject these structures that allow for society to function so much that you create a world and a culture that human beings are incapable of navigating. When people started thinking about subjectivity and what it is to be you in these new structureless terms, the idea of subjectivity as we've traditionally looked at it starts to dissolve away. What it starts to look like is what it is to be you is be a single instantiation of a culture, a culture which is an extremely narrow structure that human beings have imposed on the infinite complexity of the universe so that they could create a society that functions that every thought you've ever had, every thought you will have in the future, every bias, every preference, every moral intuition that you identify as a huge aspect of what it is to be you.
