What Does It Mean To Become Yourself ?
from The Things You Can't Touch
Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can’t Touch. Remember, this is a philosophy podcast. Today, we are joined by a guest who many of you may recognise from her online presence. She is known for embodying a particular character on social media... one that sparks conversation, controversy, and strong reactions. But this episode is not about prying into her personal life or turning her into a spectacle. This is a philosophical conversation about identity. Through questions about memory, structural injustice, religion, morality, personality, and social media, we explore how identity is formed, and reformed. We touch on thinkers like Bhikhu Parekh, standpoint epistemology, and broader questions about whether intelligence, disability, family, or trauma can ever define a single story about a person. As always on TTYCT, this is not about cancelling, diagnosing, or reducing someone to a label. It is about understanding complexity. It is about allowing people to articulate their own philosophical framework for who they are and how they move through the world.
