After spending too long trying to figure out what the 4th person is (1st: from the perspective of the speaker, 2nd: from the perspective of someone adjacent to the speaker, 3rd: from the perspective of an viewer, 3rd omni: from the perspective of an all-knowing narrator / God), I've decided it is when you speak in parallel universal Schrodingerian.
"There is probably a universe in which I freak out and kill you, you know."
"Sir, is that a threat?"
"There is a potential universe in which I'm entirely cooperative and nobody has to die."
"Okay, glad to hear you're going to be reasonable."
"No, I didn't say that, that was probably a direct quote from a different me on a separate timeline."
"Not going quietly, eh?"
"Obviously, unless this is the universe in which people speak in telepathy. Could be, how would we know? Maybe moving our mouths and ears is a vestigial thing."
"Arrest this man."
"You know, in most paths, you'd have hesitated before following that order. In many that's a good thing, but in quite a few that's a terrible decision."
"Clearly, he's nuttier than a fruitcake."
"No, that's #568-eΩ. Good guy, but damn is he fucking crazy. I mean, theoretically."
YOU NEVER HAVE TO TALK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IT IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED THAT YOU NEVER DO.
Just shut the fuck. Shut the fuck. Shut the fuck up. Best advice ever.
NO! You tell them everything, but in the 4th person. 🤣🤣🤣 Just being silly, be well fren.
