Portable identities.... The advantages are readily apparent, but the risks might be clustered around economic shocks. After a couple of generations those Portable Identities won't probably remember that their identities are portable in which case they become functionally permanent and are then confronted by the incongruity of the permanence of their cosmopolitanism against the persistent localism of the masses. In an economic shock, when the price of resources necessary to the support of a cosmopolitan sensibility compete less favorably with those demanded for the support of the more reliable traditions of family, group, village, etc., the Portable Identity, unmoored as it is to the sensibilities of the huddled masses, can reasonably be expected to lash out violently, like teenager frustrated between the lure of imagined heavens and the comforts of conformity.
