The concept of Persona crystalised for use in mental therapy by Sigmund Freud a white man who believed women did not have the same potential as men has its roots in oral traditions from within which descriptions of human identity arose and seeded our cultural identities.

Self conceptions derived using orally defined concepts of the human soul as a uniquely separate entity capable of living on in time forward while our human bodies decay and die akin to all other living creatures on Earth. That such concepts emerged in male dominated communities that sincerely believed the world was flat and the earth was at the centre of the Universe should give us pause during recollective reasoning.

We are not just on a planet that is not flat we come into being as humans in the present arising in time forward in one time forward lifetime within an observable pre existing complex system a concept that our flat earth ancestors could never have understood and Persona is not complex system ready no more than Ptolemy's map could help get Elon Musk into space.
