I realized I had no true self when I was 13, and over my life this has developed into a theme. I feel as though I'm a series of masks, or personalities, all the way down into the abyss; if you try to uncover the truth of me, you'll find nothing there at all.

Sorry to ruin your analogy, but actually (should I wear an Adam Conover mask?), “everything moves in relation to everything” is Galileo, not Einstein, and it has no speed limit. What special relativity adds is that time itself is relative, and that is what brings the speed limit.

and also, i think (this is subjective) that “underneath” is the wrong direction? maybe “inside”?

If you believe that most traits are genetically determined then there is in a sense a core authentic self, but it has little to do with the things that most people imagine constitute their “unmasked” self, which tend to be either delusions of grandeur or apotheosized self-pity.

i was thinking the same thing; there's probably a bunch of neural correlates to what your 'authentic self' is re: behavior but it's not really going to be what most people think it is
