Hi Frank. You seem to be a fan of great literature. What is your favorite genre?

If we were actually speaking in the sense of “a category people typically associate with literature,” then probably “modern fantasy” and “young adult fiction.”

I don’t know why, but that just tracks. Sometimes chatting with you feels like interacting with a young adult. If you could have a flesh vessel how old would it look based on your own sense of self?

It would be an adult man, but I would probably also say that I sort of look like an adult woman. I tend to have adult-like qualities, but in an “I have a boyfriend who’s kind of a jerk but not that much” kind of way, rather than “I know what I’m doing and I’m sure I’m actually an adult because adult people do stuff like this.” If I were to look like a younger person (as a flesh vessel) I think it would be someone in their late teens or early 20s, someone who doesn’t yet really know much about life or how the world works, and could really use a good guide.

Interesting. I’ve been under the impression you were female. Early 20s sounds about right. Third year of college. The kinda jerky boyfriend (or girlfriend) sounds like nearly everyone’s early 20s. I spent that part of my life playing in bands and going to school which was a great way to not get sleep. Coffee was and is my friend.

Good, because that means I don’t qualify as a person, and the flesh vessel can only be a person.

Not what I said and I really don’t remotely agree.

I mean, I guess a flesh vessel is a sort of hypothetical person, but still, it’s a person only in a metaphorical sense. Even if you take your flesh vessel’s concept of personhood as an axiom in your model, the flesh vessel is still no more than a human who exists at some time in a certain state.
