After watching the movie clip with the man being so molded and in tune with his surrounds I started to wonder what really defines a person. When I describe my life to people, I talk about my surroundings, my school work, my job and my friends. I don't talk about who I am on the inside during casual conversations. All the characteristics I use to describe me are external to myself. I talk bard on stumlus from the outside world comparable to how the pain character did in the movie. While I differ from him in the way that I am not a cumpulsive liar, I feel his actions can be compared to how people interact with one another on a daily basis. For example, having been a dancer for my whole life, when I see a person with a dance shirt on I begin talking about it. If I am however talking to someone else dance is usually not the first thing I bring up. So the way this all relates back to Clark, is that ge belives information and knowledge is stored externally to the brain. My argument is that not only is information stored externally. But so is a persons identity. You describe someone based on their surroundings and tid bits of information. You identify someone based on their external actions.
