I really enjoyed this lecture, it really touched me to see that someone is giving a lecture on the relation between volition (freewill) and identity, because I occasionally ask myself if I can really choose who I am (in an existential sense).

This is a very good lecture. An individual multi-dimensional identity; having a mosaic identity, a diluted, fluid-type identity... a lot of it brought about or acquired by affiliations and associations - by sharing experiences.

The good side of identity can be intoxicating. It's easy to get sucked in if nobody is talking outside of whatever given framework. But, just like my high school teachers wouldn't accept a report with only one source, It is important to understand more than one point of view, and weigh them with a good conscience when a decision has to be made. This goes for all subjects: politics, economics, religion, philosophy, music, as well as identification of self and others.

So I hope the basic idea summed up in Sens statement at 51:30 can become more common in our conversations about everything. "So really, I'm not asking for non classification I'm asking for more classification--many, many, many, many more."
