>>212671975 (OP) Same. My identity is based on me flexing the brands I use eg iPhone, Apple Watch, Air Max etc. I also only get dopamine hits from buying shit
>>212672034 We're not really that materialistic as a culture. We just have lots of money and thirdies assume that means all we care about are products. A culture where people actually obsess over possessions would be like China.
>>212673790 interesting, I always wondered if this was possible, I think that a strong personal identity can only take you so far, since it has no future as you'll eventually die. something like family, country etc, have a future if that makes sense
