Drunken Philosophy: Can you construct an authentic "self"?

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. There is a fascinating book called "You and Your Profile" where two current philosophy professors argue that there has been a historical progression of identity ideals from sincerity (allegiance to pre-defined social roles) to authenticity (discovery of an inner, true self), and finally to "profilicity", a term they created. Profilicity is defined as the creation of identity through curated public profiles, crafted for "second-order observation"—being seen as being seen. This new mode emphasizes performance and the management of multiple, dynamic personas across different platforms, suggesting that in our current era, identity is constructed through the images we present publicly rather than discovered within. So, the prompt is this: first, is there a true, inner "self" that you can authentically discover to be the "real, authentic" you? Second: whether you think there is an authentic self you can discover or you don't think so, do you think there is any authenticity in self-created profiles, particularly and especially on social media? This new mode emphasizes performance and the management of multiple, dynamic personas across different platforms, suggesting that in our current era, identity is constructed through the images we present publicly rather than discovered within. Do you agree that the new self often is one that is an identity based on a profile created online so that "second-order observation" by people you don't even know results in you "are seen being seen" by these unknown people? Many people will create different personas and profilicities on different platforms so how authentic can they be? Hope to see you at the Oracle this Saturday. As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
