I think one reason I like the {Yudkowsky, Tomasik, Drescher, Dennett} approach to dealing with philosophy is that they treat all of the "big questions" or "mysterious questions" at once, rather than just treating one thing in isolation. But it seems like Drescher doesn't talk much about the problem of personal identity, and Yudkowsky's blog posts only pose it as a question (about the anthropic trilemma) rather than as an answer. I think having these all in one table would be nice, since I am tabulating a bunch these days. The columns could be "mysterious question", "mysterious answer", "resolution/dissolved answer".
