Youโ€™ve recently died and gone to heaven, only itโ€™s not what youโ€™d expected. Instead of white clouds and angels with harps, itโ€™s a secret fight club where residents duke it out for fun.l, having spent centuries honing their abilities.
Youโ€™ve only just turned up, and youโ€™ve been given a free bet on the dayโ€™s big match: Winston Churchill vs Walt Disney

the fact you can get drunk while bodyswapped through the ancient communication stones raises some philosophical questions.

why are you drunk at all if your consciousness is plugged into another personโ€™s body? if the stones transmit your mind out of your body, then the drunk person should be whoever has the drunk body. you shouldnโ€™t get drunk in their body, they should be getting drunk on the other side of the universe. but no, in the show being in a drunk body is what makes you drunk, and the person on the other end isnโ€™t affected, even if their body is drunk, despite their mind coming from a body which is currently drunk.

it implies that using the stones doesnโ€™t transmit your mind from your body like a signal, but instead thereโ€™s a complete disconnect between your body and mind. body and mind are properly swapped, as if thereโ€™s a mind, containing your memories and your self, that can exist on its own as separate to the brain.

although, this does make sense in the context of the show. there is, literally, a computer hard drive full of ghosts we find in season 2, as well as, Ascension as a concept. this thing with the stones is just the weirdest example of the existence of a soul or something in this show now that Iโ€™ve noticed it.
