Siamese twins.

Are they one person or two?

You see one or two persons there?

If you had a discussion with them, you would discuss with one or two persons?

Needs more than a second to answer "two" ?

@Rilles I'd say it depends on your perspective.

If we say that a creature is defined by having a brain, then we have two because each twin has one.

If we say a human is a body, then it's one.

If we say a creature is a creature if it has one body and one brain, then it's neither one nor two.

And if we go into non-duality everything is one, not just siamese twins.

Nice! ??
