This is how Immigrants try to sweettalk into gaining the identity of a country not their own just for the country to go down the proverbial drain. Yes, not buying it.

I ask this question most of the time it seems like you're a mix of those cultures and yet you don't belong to any of them and when all your family gather for holidays it's hard to find a way to communicate because we was born in different places and we have to learn to more than one language just because uncle.... Don't speak your language

This guy speaks of testosterone as if its somehow a bad thing. When its very clear this guy needs testosterone therapy.

Good, comforting words for Permanent Exiles, by choice, like myself. Being one is more like an attitude than a way of life, the latter is secondary to it. I have found that things often happen by chance, and the path is taken, or not, and it doesn't really matter! You are home where you stand.

Hmm, yes, I am also a "TCK", but I have a relatively well defined object that I consider home. My computer, lol. The only ubiquitously comfortable "place" where I an be.

Military brats ... excuse me, kids can easily relate to the first part of his talk (I'm an AF brat and love the term brat, but not everyone does). Some call themselves TCK (third culture kids).
I love the suggestion that stillness and mindfulness helps to answer that age-old question about home. -
marvelous ted talk

This is absolutely amazing!! Identity crisis is something I am facing now too.
I enjoy seeing French culture in France, Norwegian culture in Norway, Japanese culture in Japan, Vietnamese culture in Vietnam, Kenyan culture in Kenya, Peruvian culture in Peru etc. Losing them would be tragic in my opinion, and I fear that this "homeless" kind of people he's talking about would lead to that. If there's no longer anyone calling themselves Scottish or Moroccan then there's no Scottish or Moroccan culture left. I don't see how that could possibly be a good thing. :(
