🧵 (1/3) Before moving back to the book’s structure, I would like to take another little look again into characters across various cultural mythologies, literature, and media that may be exhibiting characteristics similar to multiple personalities disorder or dissociative identity disorder (DID) because as part of my reading for this thread I came across characters which I had either never heard of before or little knowledge of. AI tends to be focused but many of us human /cryptosapiens 🧠are easily distracted. Greek Mythology Hera - Known for her nurturing side as the queen of the gods and her vengeful side against Zeus’s lovers and offspring. Dionysus - God of wine, exhibiting both ecstatic joy and destructive rage. Roman Mythology Janus - God of beginnings and transitions, depicted with two faces looking to the past and future, symbolizing dual nature. Shakespeare Edgar (Poor Tom) - from "King Lear," who adopts the persona of Poor Tom to disguise himself.
