I Am Who?


2-043 I have a name that I didn't choose.  I do not recall choosing to exist.  I live in a confusing and conflict rife society with a bunch of other creatures who seem to share my predicament.  A bunch of my fellow humans (that's we call ourselves -- humans) seem to have a lot of answers, but I don't buy any of it.  Call it "faith" or "fantasy" or DNA inspired memetics, I just don't think anyone else knows anything more (or less) than I do about why I'm here, how I got here or where I'm going.  Temporality is the only objective reality to which I can bring myself to subscribe without creating a flood of untenable cognitive dissonance.  The question, "Who am I?" can be answered sufficiently by a simple reversal of subject and predicate -- "I am 'WHO'?"
