Why do Pablo refer to himself in the third person?
A lot of A'tin wonder why our beloved Pinuno often refers to himself in the third-person POV. With the way he does it, all we can say is that he's too adorable, but according to LSA Psychology of the University of Michigan, by doing so, we are teaching ourselves an ancient trick that can help us become more wise. Now, that sounds interesting, and here's the reason why.
LSA sited the article written by David Robson for BBC News. In the article, Robson described referring to oneself in the third person or illeism as a practice that has real cognitive benefits. To quote a paragraph from the article: "To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or pompous – and we may even deride famous people who choose to talk in this way. Yet recent psychological research suggests that illeism can bring some real cognitive benefits. If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to neutralize the emotions that could lead our thinking astray, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem." - BBC.COM
PABLO is called a genius by A'tin, known people in the entertainment industry, and casuals. The moment they learn enough about him, it's always the one word that comes to mind. He has many quirks, even weird sometimes, but no matter what variant of PABLO we see, he's always adorable. What we don't know is that such practice is actually helpful to gain greater consciousness about one's decisions. It allows us to be impartial of our own dilemma so that we may see the best resolution we could come up with. This absolutely make sense to me, because when a person experiences difficulty, it's normal for a human being to become emotional. This often leads to making bad and rash decisions. By training yourself to be impartial, logic and open-mindedness can balance our views that will allow us to see things clearly.

According to research, illeism was first used by Julius Ceasar in Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic War), though there was no name for it yet. The word illeism was first attributed to Samuel Taylor Coleridge around 1809–10. It is said that the Coleridge coined the term by borrowing the Latin word "ille" (meaning "he" or "that man") and combined it with "ism". Another term that Coleridge coined was the Solomon's Paradox based on the biblical story of King Solomon who advised other people wisely while making bad decisions for himself. Solomon's Paradox was spearheaded by Coleridge that tested people's reasoning towards other people's problem and compared it to that of their own.
Before this Chapter ends, I'd like to say something to all of you. I am NOT nor do I INTEND TO BE the person you call "IDOL". I wear my garbage all the time. My beliefs and experiences made me who I am. I am who I am, I feel good and at the same time, bad about it.

While researching about illeism, I realized that what others think are part of PABLO's imperfection are in fact parts of what makes him special. He is who he is because of what is inside his heart and mind, influenced by his parents and his faith. He knows himself because he looks at himself in the third person, impartial, logical, and most of the time, critical. He is a multifaceted artist overflowing with talent and wisdom. A mystery that you would want to solve, a phenomenon you would want to understand, and most importantly, he is a living, breathing history unfolding right before our eyes.
