If you are what you do, then should you not have a sense of pride and shame regarding what you do... therefore, regarding who you are?
An ego is not a thing you can live, It's always after-the-fact. It's like a subtitles on daily life, you look at that and miss the movie.

Hmm... I disagree. I see properly attuned ego as skin in the game. I'll give you some better/longer reasons why in DM in a bit (I love this)
-
We're getting different notions and concepts of ego confused here, I agree with that but to me that is not ego :)

The fact that the ego can never be fulfilled is precisely the reason why it appears to have some reality when it obviously does not.
-
Reality is just a conceived model for describing existence and existing (I know you know this but....)
-
Wittgenstein is, to my knowledge, the only Western philosopher to have concluded that whatever we say about reality is not reality.
-
I use the words differently because the opposite of reality is fantasy -- what Wittgenstein et al. call "reality" I call "existence"
-
That's also why I think reality/fantasy should be thought of as models
-
People fuck up their thinking hard with the word "reality", it's very loaded. Existence always just "is".
