I’m still confused enough about consciousness that I can only directionally and approximately agree, but I do agree with that.
It gets really fun when the same individual holds multiple titles with conflicting obligations, and ends up doing things like approve and then veto the same measure while wearing different hats. I also think it’s unfortunate that we seem to have gotten way to intolerant of people doing this compared to a few decades or generations ago. We’re less willing to separate individuals from the roles they’re enacting in public life, and that makes many critical capabilities harder.
