“People like to dress up, they like to play other roles, and that’s initially enjoyable. But when this is no longer a supplement to what we are, but when it completely replaces our self, then it becomes difficult. The fundamental game with identity is an epochal change in people’s self-understanding, we have not yet practiced enough with it. In my opinion, the fact that burn-out is currently so rampant is not due to the workload, but to this form of stress.”
