Hello Economucks,
Rakesh writes,
yet we hardly recognize that our positions have changed over time, which so
complicates the idea of a person as a substrate, no? It would seem to me
that if the net does succeed in allowing for some indepth discussion, the
rate at which our views change may accelerate, thereby undermining any sense
of personhood which persists through time. Or with the bombardment of
information, we may find ourselves unable to develop any views, which
undermines the integrity of personhood in another way. But the self is in
eclipse, one way or another.

Since you brought it up in an off hand way I doubt you have serious thoughts
to say about "self". But if you do then I have some serious thoughts also.
And in that sense you could do me a favor by providing a suitable partner
for discussion.
thanks,
Doyle
