Episode 166: Cosmere Dictionary Vol. 2 ( feat. Jofwu )

Brooke and Tyler are joined by long-time Cosmere contributor and Arcanist Jofwu to discuss cognitive shadows' origins and complexities. Perhaps the fandom's most debated and speculated-upon question is "What are cognitive shadows and how do they work?" We look at different types of cognitive entities across various planets, categorize how they are created, and wonder whether or not a cognitive shadow is/was/or will be(!) a soul. #AllSpoilers Jofwu's Timeline Spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zq5bJoKE83ggDCjH43i1hZi0CIpB2iAx7v37zQPVFK0/edit?gid=856252766#gid=856252766) Interactive Map of Roshar (https://roshar.17thshard.com/#/en-US) Follow Jofwu on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@jofwu17) Listen to Jofwu's recent episodes on Shardcast (https://youtu.be/gM-s7NtgMQY?si=KKq1e_wKWDi5kdQu) Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CosmereConversations) Original music by David Gruwier (https://twitter.com/DGruwier).
