Trying to represent and perform identity in your pursuit of interests and curiosities is a bit like trying to have a full conversation with a cat, like it understands human language. Nature might respond somewhat to aspects of identity but the performance is largely lost on it.

The question could also be about equity too, and there's a strong relationship between that and existential threat. We can learn a lot from those on the the frontlines.

I honestly think you're missing my point. I'm not making a normative point at all. I'm making what I think is a factual assertion: having a strong "identity performance" persona at all times makes you less able to be curious about and interested in, the world.
