Archetypes is the wrong word. Templates is better. Kongzi said that what distinguishes people is training. In other words, 'normie' is a template people are trained to embody, not just a thing that arises from the world naturally. Normies are the outcome of industrial turbocapitalism who are disciplined to take on the template and live by it. You are right about identity. It is a prison.
>>3 Identity seems more complicated than the use of names to describe groups. Its funny how identity is considered super important today. However, it didn't become a popular as a concept until the 1950s. Sociologists and anthros of 20s and 30s barely even used the word. Identity seems to me to be a recent invention.
