Assume for the moment that individuality is an *illusion...that, indeed, commonalities overwhelm any and all differences.

So what?

The illusion of individuality is persistent and powerful...I doubt 'we' will ever be rid of it.



*it's not an illusion, but a concrete reality...again: so what?

I propose individuality varies...some folks are meant to cling together (maybe even be sewn together in the manner of a centipede) while others cannot help but stand apart and alone.

So one person shits and another person eats it?
Then they transfer that shit on to another individual with all the nutrients stripped?! GROSS!

Oh.
Wait.
It's also called media.
