The historic root of human dysfunction. The sense that each of us belongs to a group - or tribe - from which we derive our idea of who we are, what we call ourselves, what we believe, whom else is a member and who is excluded.
Whether rooting for a sports team or voting along party lines, we divide ourselves into 'us' and 'them', as humans have done for millennia. It leads us to war. At a minimum we endure a chronic state of para-warfare.
He could not fathom how she had voted for Biden! She in turn looked with speechless amazement at his mindless devotion to ... she could not bring herself to utter that reviled name! Neither could ever change the other's mind by an inch. They were exemplars of tribal identity, each believing their side was right, the other side wrong, the finding of middle ground a fantasy for Springsteen/Jeep commercials during the Super Bowl - itself a tribal enactment - and nothing more.

Get the Tribal Identity mug.When a user-member on the BeatYourTruck.com forum can't decide on a permanent avatar and so eludes to a recurring format of unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable recognition.

Get the IDENTITY mug."Identity Superposition" is the concept that one's sense of self is not fixed but exists in a state of uncertainty, influenced by internal and external factors. Similar to Schrödinger's cat being both alive and dead until observed, personal identity is in a superposition of possibilities until experienced.
For example, imagine a person who feels confident and outgoing in social situations but introspective and reserved when alone. Their identity is fluid, shifting between these states depending on the context. This fluidity reflects the idea of existing in a superposition of identities until observed or experienced by themselves or others.

John's experience of "Identity Superposition" became evident when he noticed how he felt like a completely different person at work, where he was assertive and authoritative, compared to when he was with his close friends, where he became more relaxed and playful.
