He calls it the entschuldigungsproblem though.  My comment : 7:15 Jenann Ismael gave a talk at Johns Hopkins last year entitled "Cracks in the edifice of determinism" where she argues that this sort of self-reference produces questions which have no meaningful answer. There then arises the question as to how much one can reasonably deduce about physical processes (such as computation) based on their demonstrated inability to answer such questions.

My comment : I need to listen to this again because I got to the end and I was thinking "but wait, why do you need to id the driver at all? Don't you just need to check that the person sitting behind the wheel, whoever they may be, is not drunk, impaired, asleep, whatever?" This is a decision that can be made entirely locally by some "logic" in the car can't it? Or do these systems need really big AI back-ends to function. The answer would be for the legislation to mandate a "Chinese wall" between the DADSS subsystem and the vehicle ownership data, and to forbid the logging or transmission of the data. That might be a bit hard to enforce in practice, but there is technology that can do this and do it verifiably, however it seems we aren't allowed to talk about it.  Subscribe to  Olive Badger .

This made me think a bit harder about identity and separateness. My comment : Your remark about personal identity being necessary, and your earlier one about our personal identity being a construction reminded me of something that happened a couple of months ago. I passed out and evidently collapsed onto the floor, but I had no recollection of actually falling. Someone "woke me up" and as I became aware of this person talking to be, I felt as though I had been dragged away from a place of complete calm and comfort, into a world of pain and nausea with blood on the floor where I had apparently hit my head. The relevance to your remark is that it is actually our physical existence as healthy living organisms that lies at the root of that identity. Not just our ability to recall events in our past, which is a large part of our idea about what we really are, but the physiological memories that we carry completely unconsciously. As it happens I had a pulmonary thrombosis which cau...
