3rd person just means if Sarah stubs her toe, you don't feel it. You may have empathy and sympathy, but you don't feel the stubbed toe. Only Sarah does, since it's her toe. She's in the 1st person, everyone else is 3rd person as far as what she experiences "inside her head where the lights are on." I noticed you used that word, "mindfulness." Did you ever go into social work?

I don't understand that much of what Pyrrho & Nestor were doing with David Hume on morality and so on. But goodness gracious! One of the first things Hume said is that we trash talk all the older systems of thought:
"Nothing is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them." -On Human Nature, 1738
