As a radical behaviorist, I believe that what we think of as “I” or “me” is a collection of responses, which couldn’t and wouldn’t occur without other — other people, other animals, other events outside our skin.
Much love to you and the loss you’re going through.
I love how you analyze the concept of “I” and “me”.
Forgive my entry into jargon as we both speak this language lol: it’s like a tact for our cumulative instructional history as a person. I love where you’re going with these pieces!!
Thank you; I appreciate it. And thank you, but I can’t take full credit for that conceptualization — it goes to Skinner and @Tim Hackenberg, who has a terrific interpretation of self he’s been cooking up (a talk from CalABA this year on video, I heard). Jargon — oh no, we will confuse the muggles! 😆 Thanks for the encouragement!

Very nice putting of words to the ineffable. And a great start to the new branch of writing. Looking forward to reading more of this.
What a beautiful, inspiring and insightful essay Jennifer!
Made me think and reflect on things going on...
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks, Simona! Grateful for your time and glad it made you think! 💕
*aren’t just us… correction to the words at the end. I can’t make the edit until I get back to my computer.
