Thank you Mr. Kwame for your incredible perspective. There is so much cultural good in the world, and with a small amount of change (initial suffering, education, acceptance) we can benefit with a richer and enjoyable life. Wise are those who take the time to educate themselves about love and truth, privileged are those lucky enough to be influenced by them, keep the momentum going.. !

Do you think that this idea of multiple identities may only function pragmatically for individuals as opposed to groups? As someone of dual and to a certain extent tri-nationality, I find it possible for myself to 'shift' between each identity. However, as humans tend to group themselves, if you have one group with a shared identity but multiple influential secondary identities, it seems that people tend to self-segregate at which point conflict can be created. What are your thoughts?

@tesfuweldemikael2902 2 года назад

I think the concept of "identity" is analytically dysfunctional and politically dangerous. See Cooper and Brubaker : Identity, republished in each one's respective 2005 book, for the first point, and Bayart 1996 / translation as "The illusion of cultural identity" for both.

My opinion is that perhaps it's not only about multiple identities, but rather the duality and multifaceted nature of 'identity' itself. Living in groups and local attachments do not forbid one to live with a cosmopolitan self.
