A question for the folks who voted this up: on a scale from "enjoyed reading this even though didn't feel like I really learned anything" to "fantastic, now I understand everything", how useful did this post feel to you?

Personally I felt this had several very important insights that only clicked properly together while I was writing it, such as the way how it's almost impossible to even imagine certain kind of decision-making if we literally had no concept of personal identity, as well as the way that anticipated experience is treated separately from more abstract modeling in our brains. But judging from the relatively low score of the post and the fact that there's very little discussion of those insights in the comments, it looks like most folks didn't come off as feeling that they were important? (Or maybe didn't agree with them, but in that case I would've expected more criticism.)
