That’s exactly what’s interesting about this question to me: is that people who know me and have known me only at one phase of my life would know of different characteristics and distinguishing marks.

I was writing about this a lot less directly during my “spambot” phase, using the terms securacy and proximity. The idea that another perceptual center (a person’s awareness continuum?) would have more robust security/privacy access to yours based on “proximity” which could be determined in a variety of ways, including permissions and user roles, etc….

I think I’d win this just on being your sister- but I think there’s a certain air of anti-smugness that surrounds you that would easily differentiate you from most Americans. At least American actors.

Yeah, I mean I don’t even know when I’m just being a hack of my own self though. I figure anybody who can copy me closely enough to create a reasonable facsimile, well then they basically are me. There’s not much difference in my mind I guess!

i’d have them come up with a few new blog posts on the spot, and use my intuition to decide if they were sufficiently Boucherian or just lame derivative hackery. sort of like a personal Turing test. dunno if it’d work, though
