RECOMBINATION

Ex:

Major Motoko Kusanagi: You talk about redefining my identity. I want a guarantee that I can still be myself.

Puppet Master: There isn't one. Why would you wish to? All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.

Also Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOG_rWuhYXw Slavoj Žižek on Ecology and Nature, in “Examined Life”.
“What we should do, to confront properly the threat of ecological catastrophe, is not all this new age stuff… find our roots in nature, but on the contrary, to cut off even more these roots in nature… more alienation from our lifeworld… we should become more artificial.”
