What is a Person? (theory)

If you're reading this, you're probably a person. While this word is regarded in everyday language as something simple, straightforward, and basically synonymous with "human being," the Wizard wants you to examine your assumptions and re-consider the concept of "person" as he reveals it to be something sranger, with far greater magical significance...This episode builds on the metaphysics laid out in depth in What's the Point? (theory), although it can absolutely be listened to on its own. And these ideas will be expanded on as an actionable magical practice in the forthcoming episode, What is a Person? (practice).For more on the ideas explored in this episode, check out What's the Point?
