First of all, your interpretation of "identity" is structural, "the current state of the WeltAufbau" - f(x,P)=y where P you call 'identity', but others would call more a "personality" (philosophically) or simply, rephrasing the above, "the current state of your Belief Theory" (in technical logical terms).

An "identity", in this context, is structurally more like a "loop" into a "role-playing referencing". It is not just that "such is the inner form of the function", but that the "function took extra assumptions intentionally".

Intellectual care is a basic intellectual duty, it works in the said "current state" framework, and if leaning into checking the risks of "identity" can be formulated as «"be aware that you may have unchecked sides"». That does not mean that "anyone would have an attachment to a perspective" - they may just have a de facto, flexible perspective, without the cageing attachment.
