WHAT MATTER WHO'S SPEAKING (1)

I wants to be:

[...]
a standard level of quality [...]
a certain field of conceptual or theoretical coherence [...]
a stylistic uniformity [...]
a definite historical figure in which a series of events converge
[...]

I is not:

[...]
a standard level of quality [...]
a certain field of conceptual or theoretical coherence [...]
a stylistic uniformity [...]
a definite historical figure in which a series of events converge
[...]

What I is is not that. The world?
