"..man's task, is...to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious...As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence" Carl Jung

• The problem of individuality is composed of two problems:
  • identity
    • what does it mean for a thing to remain the same thing if it changes over time?
    • what makes tow entities the same kind of thing?
    • identity is fundamentally about the nature of sameness and continuity
  • individuation
    • how do we tell two things apart?
    • what are the boundaries of an object?
    • indivduation is about differences and breaks
• These two properties are abstractions and are really two sides of the same coin
  • One can often reframe one in terms of the other to suit your focus.
  • To pick something out in the world you need to know both what
    • makes it one thing, and also
    • what makes it different than other things – identity and individuation,
      • sameness and difference.

What is preferable? I feel like we should start with the well-being of the whole and individuate from there; technosocial urbanism emphasizes applying tech to social issues, but why don't we set the bone before providing a crutch?

In this I hear of the importance of listening to our true Self, our Being..
