We're all clay monsters now
Created based on E.L. Zeitgeist’s question: What would happen if people had the option to get rid of their outward facing identities (race, gender, etc) via a procedure that replaces your skin with a plasticine substance? How would it affect society?
to the extent that we are identified as a ‘self’, we are merely a performance of the possibilities latent in language.
maybe our identity was never a fixed thing?? has the internet actually changed anything or is it always a creation of our own minds? Or a creation of our community - is identity something that emerges when someone else sees you, a la quantum lol
