and i did think about your description of adult development and
personality lifestyle choices - and i was most struck by how unlike
activity theory the description is. the description seems pretty linear,
cause & effect, instrumentalist in its behavioral mechanism.
just my thoughts. still, it doesn't fit with anything i've read about
adult development as informed by activity theory. have you read Valsineer?

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.
from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
