The podcasters discussed the concept of multiple selves and how they can manifest in different situations, drawing a comparison to David Hume's philosophy regarding human perception.
he wrote this about our different elements, I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind that they are nothing but a bundle of different perceptions which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity and are in perpetual flux and movement
our eyes cannot turn in their sockets without varying our perceptions, our thought is still more variable than our sight, nor is there any single power of the soul which remains unalterably the same perhaps for one moment
the mind is a kind of theater where several perceptions successively make their appearance pass repass glide away and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and situations

I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind that they are nothing but a bundle of different perceptions which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity and are in perpetual flux and movement. Our eyes cannot turn in their sockets without varying our perceptions. Our thought is still more variable than our sight. Nor is there any single power of the soul which remains unalterably the same, perhaps for one moment.
The mind is a kind of theater where several perceptions successively make their appearance, pass, repass, glide away, and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and situations.
