I read this article earlier today: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/may/21/prix-pictet-photography-prize-consumption-slavoj-zizek I'm curious what your thoughts are on it. Is living authentically even possible?

How is it even possible to be not-authentic? Whatever I do is me doing it, it cannot be any way other.

We're all invaders in a human body. Do I want to be Madonna because there is something intrinsic about Madonnaism, or is it just that Madonna is appreciated by my community. It don't matter none though, just ignore the thread.
so we should examine our motivations for being who we want to be?
is that authenticity?

I guess it's about making sure your internal motivation isn't corrupted by things external. Imagine your civilization, all you know, is literally a brothel, and your culture is shaped to conform to the brothel. How would you know what you really wanted? How would you know how to actually make the most of your terrible situation? If you never questioned your motivations you'd likely end up having very unfortunate aspirations.
