| > identity-productive This word scares me because if identity is dependent on the type of product that you have or becomes larger part than it already is, especially within my generation at times. Then its quite scary to think. A gaping hole of loneliness being filled with shallow identity being generated by and for consumerism. As much as I think that what you meant was products alleviating the identity of the person, I think the chances of the identity itself being replaced by something more hollow is more likely as well. Quite frankly,This word truly feels like something which comes out of American Psycho or reminds me so much of it. Also, another point but I also feel the same feelings of hollowness from creating stuff with AI if we leave it autonomously as I mentioned with some aspect of consumerism although I am frugal. The similarities are quite a lot. Money --> (Choice on what prompt/model you want your identity more associated with) --> (time) --> Product Money --> (Choice on what product you want your identity more associated with) --> (time) --> product And then repeat the cycle. This has been a boom for capitalism but a loss for humanity, in my opinion. |
