Who am I, and how do I know?
...which seems to relate to several other topics generated during our brainstorm:
- "Normal"
- Nature vs. Nurture
- Homicidal Thoughts
- Knowledge vs. Wisdom
- Emotions
- Heart vs. Mind
- Impulses
- Discerning Character
- Self Awareness
- Self Preservation
After today's meeting, I realized that the question "Who am I?" (a question about identity... yes?) is different from "What am I?" (a question about substance and/or personhood). Are we asking the question we're meaning to ask, that is, one about identity?

I think that the discussion is related - but not limited to- identity, i think that the proposed was meant to encompass the objects of substance as well as personhood. This can be seen in the fact that when we further expanded/ grouped this question with other proposed topics such as self- awareness and emotion those topic breaches may go deeper than identity...
