   I  understand  you.  The  problem, for me, is that I
don't   believe   in   individuality.   It's  a  social
construction  that  I  would  like  to see disappear. I
think  that the individuality myth (and the individuals
it has created) is one of the worst human inventions. I
tend to think that "individuals" are "society members,"
so I'm going to try to reflect that in my discourse.

   Best wishes,
