Hello again! My first post here was justified moved to other places because I introduced myself with Cosmere-stuff (Including my spoiler related Ideas and so on). So now I am introducing myself with all the other things. And because i am not sure if spoilers about other topics are allowed (maybe after 6 months/ what about non book spoilers (like the one below and real life spoilers, like the outcome of an election or some kind of important sports event?) I will just put this spoiler here to check. But I am also generally a fan of Science Fiction and Fantasy. I work in IT and I am currently training Jiu Jitsu but i like martial arts in general. I like to drink tea and whisky (mainly Scotch and Japanese). I am 1.9 meters tall (6'3 in non metric units) and I am pretty heavy. I like BBQ and love to make large dry-aged steaks on a grill. I read in English and German but I also listen to the audio-books. I finished RoW in December and I am currently rereading (audio-book) WoK but I will do a whole Cosmere reread until the next stormlight book comes out. I studied (but not finished) Philosophy and I am really interested in the Ethics and Morals in Brandon Sanderson's works. I also read a lot of non-fiction and I am looking forward to Dr. Jordan Peterson's new book especially. (A post connecting his works and Brandons will follow once I know in which forum to put it) I also like cheese. Blue cheese more than most other kinds to be precise. Sometimes I like to write poems, especially when I am in love or there is some kind of challenge. My English word pool is currently not large enough for me to feel good about writing a ketek, but it is one of my goals to do so. I also really like Haikus since I saw the on scene in Avatar the last Airbender but I can´t speak or write Japanese. When I am fitter and healthier again, I´ll do triathlons. I did a few of those before 2020. I have Asthma, ADD and had a Depression (which is not completely gone, but I am much better now) and I can relate especially well to the combination of Kaladin and Syl. ( I hope that Info does not count as a spoiler, but it is older than 9 months so it should not) and I am colorblind ( not completly but more than just red and green blind). I really love how Brandon writes characters that are not "perfect" but believable and especially female protagonists, because I usually do not like those in most other works of modern fiction because they feel unrealistic ( they feel often more like political propaganda nowadays compared to older works). The theme of reponsibility in the cosmere is something I really like. Oh and Chiri-Chiri is my favorit Character especially if you think about non main characters. I like Jasnah too, but I dislike one part of her character so it is Chiri-Chir. I hope that this one will not be moved and I am happy to be a part of this community. Looking forward to read your comments about my whole life and thank you for having me here.

This is based off of my own experiences and thinking in languages other than your native. So, a while ago, in real life, I changed my name. For the longest time, I was correcting myself and called myself Name #1. Then, I switched over and thought of myself as Name #2. I believe that my own Cognitive Aspect changed when I made the crossover. At least, it would if I lived in the Cosmere. In languages, people think in their native language. But if they live in a country where they are forced to only speak a second language for years, they start to think in the second language. If they lived in the Cosmere, would their Cognitive Aspect change? If a block of wood is thought of as a block of wood for years, but then is carved into a chair, I don't think it's Cognitive Aspect would change immediately. I think it would change just as my name did, just as how people thought changed. Just some musings on the nature of Cognitive Identity.
