identity labels

Well I don't think we are all just DNA -- not a biological equation.  But in fact we do not always know what we are, and when we start to label we violate that which we intend to label.  It becomes limited and restricted by our concept of it.  It's a false epistemology to rely too heavily on labels, although sometimes labels can be invoked.  (There's a sense in which people do arrange their sensibilities and commonalities according to existing labels.)
