    Do you think this lack of parentally-given identity leaves you without a
    sufficient sense of identity, or has it allowed you to create a strong
    identity that now provides you with more relevance to the world than you
    would have had from a parentally-given identity? Or?

    Can a person create their own memes for themselves, if their meme-space is
    not filled by others?

    This is very interesting.
