I wonder if David Lewis (perhaps the most notorious philosophical two-boxer) was skeptical that any human had a sufficiently strong self-model. I think there are very who few have better self-models than he did, so it’s quite interesting if he did think this. His discussion of the “tickle defence” in his paper “Causal Decision Theory” may point that way.
