Bollas's thesis is that it is through the discovery of one's unique idiom, which you might say is the signature of the true self: human idiom is that peculiarity of person(ality) that finds its own being through the particular selection and use of the object. In this sense, to be and to appropriate are one.<BR/><BR/>Or, as with the Left, one can choose not to grow, subjected by fate to find their own common true idiot.<BR/>"Hey! look at me! I'm so unique...just like everyone else in the hive!"<BR/><BR/>Those not too far gone will have a faint true idiom tryin' to peak outta the crust of idiocy, while some will show no signs whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>Speakin' from personal experience, I much rather have true self idiom, and that more abundantly, than the illusion of "uniqueness" that the false self, the idiot oozes. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, liberty or slavery?
