RE: [xmca] personality

Exactly Maria, :) or, as CS Peirce put it:

"Two things here are all-important to assure oneself of and to remember.
The first is that a person is not absolutely an individual. His thoughts
are what he is 'saying to himself,' that is, is saying to that other self
that is just coming into life in the flow of time. When one reasons, it is
that critical self that one is trying to persuade; and all thought
whatsoever is a sign, and is mostly of the nature of language. The second
thing to remember is that the man's circle of society (however widely or
narrowly this phrase may be understood), is a sort of loosely compacted
person, in some respects of higher rank than the person of an individual
organism."

!! a group is "a sort of loosely compacted person" !! or a person is a
"sort of tightly compacted group"??
