Nothing can exist without its foundation in the past. The premise of individuality, that you exist separate from others, can't even happen unless someone else creates you, but I'm not talking about body separateness. That component of the individual is very real. The mental side is not real, you could even call it a western concept. The body and mind both reflect behavior over generations, free will over time producing almost infinite complexity from millions of human "supermolecules" interacting. It took an entire civilization to create the concepts we employ mentally.
That's not cheap determinism either, like "God knew it would happen beforehand so free will not real" it's human behavior that could've gone different ways, because people are such complex systems. The point of being big and complex is to personally do a range of self-commanded things. You still have to make your own contribution, the premise of free will is true but the premise of individuality (that self is not contingent) is wrong.
The term has been incredibly useful to defeat social oppression and liberate people from their obligation to tribal elders. There are other strong arguments for using it. Individual-ism is frequently a necessary ideology. My intention is to describe people accurately, and no description is complete without your provenance. You're part of a living web of flesh.
