What a fun thread this has been to read and explore and ponder. So on
a Sunday afternoon, here's my contribution:
If we are evolutionary beings, and indeed evolve within our own
lifetime, then aren't we always becoming something? And if that
something is unfamiliar to us (as in the unexplored territory, new
practices, new habits, etc.), if it does not feel like our self that
we are familiar with, perhaps it does feel foreign and our language
doesn't have words for that. Our body recognizes it as a new action,
hence the incongruence with the known self. And just when actions
become congruent with language, perhaps the cycle begins all over
again, where the old falls away and the new feels awkward. (Seems
like that's better than having it becoming reified and we only have
one option in front of us as a rigid being, unwilling to experiment
and try something new.)
My take on the topic -
