We all have self-constructed identities. When threat of deconstruction presents itself, we react. E.g. my college degree isn’t worth what I thought it was, therefore I’m not the person I thought I was, therefore AI is evil, doesn’t work right, is bad for the environment, is bad for society, et. al.
