Episode notes
Identity is formed by the social structures we navigate and our desires. Our sense of self is influenced by the options available to us at birth and the symbolic order that shapes our reality. Desire is intertwined with dialectical oppositions, where our understanding of who we are and what we desire is defined by what we lack. The tension between our current identity and the desired future state acts as an engine that propels our identity forward.
