Full Idea
For the conventionalist the world is doomed to merge into an amorphous lump with no real individuality or differentiation, ..but we can hardly make our own identity in the world in the way we are supposed to conventionally create identity for objects.
Clarification
'Conventionalists' say all identity is a human (probably cultural) creation
Gist of Idea
Conventionalists see the world as an amorphous lump without identities, but are we part of the lump?

A Reaction
Very nice argument! We need to 'cut nature at the joints' (Plato), and one joint is screamingly obvious - that between observer and world. You could try denying this, but it would be a bizarre view.
