Obsessed with self-examination.... what would they be like, personality wise I mean.
I don't think so. Confused on the topic, but trying to figure it out.For a start, can we agree they'd be completely amoral?
If the universe were a person...
By what standard are we not part of the universe?We would be parasites.
It would be like all life combined, into one big self examining heap of splender.... what would they be like, personality wise I mean.

By what standard are we not part of the universe?
My point exactly.Good point. However we regard natural E. Coli in our systems as part of us.
You lost me.Than again.. we can't be strictly parasites, because we gain from existence (I guess) which is only possible thanks to the universe.

This immediately reminded me of "The Wind in the Door" by Madeleine L'Engle. Meg and Co. have to go into her sick brother's mitochondria to convince the farandola-- sentient beings-- to mature. The farandola really have no concept of "Charles Wallace"-- their universe. I would imagine we would be in a similar predictament if our universe was in fact a person. Nothing about our surroundings would really tell us about the personality of our person.... what would they be like, personality wise I mean.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.It was a good point; it forced to reconsider - and I agree.
Thanks for clarifying.Oh, sorry; I was just saying we couldn't be 'parasites', because the exchange is mutual. We feed off the universe as much as it feeds off us.
Is the universe male or female?

Maybe it's an infant person. They grow a lot.If the Universe were a person, it would be in need of a strict diet . . . as it is expanding at the rate of about 70 km per second, according to the Hubble Constant.
