Using third perspective pronouns only means avoiding the use of first and second person pronouns to refer to someone. (This would be called “third person”, but those that use it are usually not a person.) This means they will not use words like “I” or “me” to refer to themselves, and ask others not to use “you” to refer to them.
According to Wikipedia, “Psychological studies show that thinking and speaking of oneself in the third person increases wisdom and has a positive effect on one's mental state because an individual who does so is more intellectually humble, more capable of empathy and understanding the perspectives of others, and is able to distance themself emotionally from their problems.” However, the goal for the typical beeper is more to distance itself from humanity, than from its own problems.
TODO: list useful phrases to use instead of “me” and “you”, with examples. Also perhaps some linguistics: “this one”/“that one” as proximal/distal instead of 1st/2nd.
