Came up with a weird definition
Identity is how you care about the world
Conversation
How much you care = (size of identity)*(intensity of identity)
A weak identity is one that doesn’t care much.
Examples of strong ones: parents, founders, star athletes, poets

“How you care” is a vector. A bit of the world (magnitude) and fate you wish for it (direction)
Eg.
Child —> grow and thrive
Alpha Centauri —> become better understood by humans
Mars —> become colonized by humans
Caring about X *is* having a preference for future of X

By this definitive I have a fairly weak identity. Which is why jokes about earth being destroyed by a Vogon constructor fleet are really funny to me.
Also, they’re funny because I have a very juvenile sense of humor but that’s not relevant here.
