This is an exceptional first LW post! I like the hypothesis in Section 2, that “be yourself” unpacks into “stop transparently optimizing to fit a cached identity”.
My main suggestion is that a long post with multiple distinct points is better off split into several posts, because people will start skimming instead of reading after a while, and points 2 and 3 won’t get as much attention/feedback as if they’d stood alone.

I just want to point out that I think the phrase “cached identity” is extremely apt.
