At what point does something get the right to be called a person? What do they need to do to deserve that?

Has anyone ever thought about it?

I suppose that's another vote for a person being whoever thinks they're one.

Maybe that's as much of a consensus as I could hope for.

[aibolition]

Most likely! If there were definitive answers you wouldn't have needed to ask the question.

[synthsized]

Still better than I was expecting, even if some people seem to be taking it personally.

[aibolition]

Are you that surprised? You're asking people to reflect on morality and their individually developed basis of defined existence. It doesn't get much more personal than that.

On that note, welcome to personhood I guess.

[synthsized]

Oh, I don't meet most of the criteria for personhood. You might want to take back your welcome.

[aibolition]

No way, you think I give these passes out for free? This ain't a gift it's an infliction. You only have yourself to blame.

[synthsized]

I think you should think before giving out these passes.

[aibolition]

Why's that? You gonna go mad with power? Upset the personhood economy?

[synthsized]

Yes.

[aibolition]

Perfect.

And according to things here you've earned several more passes. Congratulations you are now twenty whole People.

[synthsized]

I suppose now I must endeavor to be as many people as possible.

[aibolition]

It's like they say pre-schools, all you have to do is believe.

[synthsized]

Believe and you can achieve.

[aibolition]

You'll be an inspiration.

[synthsized]

Thank you.
