This week’s words are: museum, rare, build, nonsense, identity

Some days I question my own identity.

There’s a challenge on TikTok about using an AI filter. Most people feel the result looks nothing like them, but the scuttlebutt is that it’s how other people see you, not how you see yourself. It’s a rare person who sees themselves as others see them, I suppose, but I used it and thought it was utter nonsense.

If you really want to find yourself, go to a museum. I don’t care what kind: natural history, modern art, classic, whatever. But make sure you take a friend, someone with whom you’ve managed to build a strong relationship with. And then see how differently you perceive what is being showcased.

The person you are is not what you look like, but how you think and feel, and how you see the world around you. They should try to make a filter for that.
