The protagonists problem here is that he was treated terribly as an automation. What his mother does is collects automations to turn them into great artists, and that process involves practices that incite torture for mistakes, brainwashing, ect. He was effectively put into a waking coma from the age of 10 or so to his late twenties where he preformed as one of the greatest pianists the current world knew. He had friends, lovers and fans that he wasn't conscious of, and when he woke up, he realized his mother was long gone. That set him off to break out of the brainwashing and run off.
The difference between human and robot is a cellular level almost. They still have wires, they don't pump blood, but similarly have organs that they can't live without. Memories are editable, recordable, watchable ect. They're basically humans with more weaknesses, but unlike them can be upgraded to have more durability or whatnot than humans. But gaining access to that kind of cell changing equipment is the controlling factor, which is what Sam is after mostly.
Sam hates being human because of the pain he knows now that was due to one, for the pain he sees inflicted and how closely it relates to his own. He sees lives that could have been good get withered from the inside, destroyed externally, any way you can think of. In addition, his own personal ailments drive him. He can't sleep properly, his hands permanently look terrible, bruised and terrifying to him, guys' just peppered with being mentally fucked over. So he has this insane motivation to take people out one at a time. Sure he can tell the difference between a good and bad person, but society has progressed so hard that there isn't any left, so every time he bothers to look up, there wasn't a reason to check.
But yeah, honestly his identify matters only because of the pain he's in due to not having one for ten years. He has an entire life he never knew about, knows others die like this, and mourns the collective loss.

Fuck I do this. I get interested in something, devote some time, enjoy the possibility that its "my thing" and then get tired of it and abandon it.

At least he has a message. 99% of literature is just bullshit that makes you waste your time and you learn ZERO. Read non-fiction instead like a Chad and actually LEARN something.

Are assumptions/axioms uncertain?

In order to develop a perspective that leads us to conclude that axioms and assumptions are uncertain, we have to first assume some axioms -- so that we can have a logical system to reason with in the first place (e.g. "logical reasoning leads to truth", "the law of non-contradiction is true", etc).

There's something contradictory, or at least unintuitive there. We can't view the axioms that gave rise to our system as inherently uncertain, can we? We need to assume them in order to even question them in the first place, so we contradict ourselves.

It's analogous to saying "I will prove that logic cannot lead us to truth", and then using logic to reason your way to that conclusion.

A dreadful, omnipresent, crushing feeling that even though I am 22 years old it is already too late. I am so deeply terrified of the future. When I think about it too seriously I need to drink, almost immediately. I have no future, I have no place, I am so literally unneeded by everyone. I am fucked.

I feel as if my life was a complete mistake. Both my older sisters are doctors who got scholarships to whatever college they wanted, graduating at the top of their class. My parents are both hard working and head strong in the face of adversity. But I’m so dumb College freshman who although got into a really good school, had to go into debt to attend it. I can’t get a single job because no one will hire me, and I’m the laziest in the family. I don’t think I was meant to be a part of this world.
