"Information is perceived as something that is tangible, and history as something reliable. This is no more true than in the case of personal histories, that we hold to in desperation when we lose our way. As children of Freud, we are told, and like to believe, that these unselfconscious origins are the core of who we are. But what happens when new information is found that requires the conscious reorganization of the past? All of reality shifts the moment that something new is introduced to the cleanly fabricated timeline. Identity then becomes something to be warred over. "
