The problem here is that you're defined by the history of environments you've been in, which provides a reason to stay in them (and a reason why the phenomenon of culture shock exists). I could not randomly have been, to take a random person, Carmen Miranda, because I am not her to any extent, so for me to "be" her, in some alternate reality, wouldn't mean anything.

Who are you?
IDK, a strange loop? But a specific one.

Oh wait, you changed what to who, didn't you?

Does the specificity comes from beliefs that you think about yourself?
Kinda, but like they say, if you open your mind too far, your brain falls out.

Boom, thanks, and ouch... I guess.

Is that also something that you believe or you know?
It's a maxim that reflects objective reality, according to me.
