[FRIAM] cults

[Marcus Daniels]

I was tempted to dive into the L vs. E as it may apply to psychology and sociology, but will just offer this instead.  Formal deprogramming!   Say the quiet part, H, lol.

Rather than -emic vs -etic, I prefer Lagrangian vs Eulerian, respectively. This avoids the concept of "inside" vs "outside", which then avoids the scoping issue Marcus raised re: nation vs other types of boundaries.

A self-imposed identity is just as imposed as an other-imposed identity. While some of us may chafe at other-imposed vs self-imposed, I think there's another type of person, those who resist any stable identity, whether other- or self-imposed. And resistance is the wrong way to frame it. It's more like a tendency to swirl around in an attractor versus a tendency to hop from one basin to another.

He/Him may be relatively accurate today. But I'm not committing to its accuracy tomorrow.
