the show is too nihilistic

And the wikipedia article said it got awards for their depiction of the time period too wtf

people aren't gonna wanna have a perpetual party forever

that's so ridiculous

we're not made to just have fun all the time

human beings aren't like that

When you upload your brain and all its functions and neuron information, doesnt that just make a copy and an entirely different conscious?

Yeah

we can't really know

A doctor who episode did that

In the game SOMA (which i highly recommend) they tell a story about this

That's the same as the age old question for teleportation

It doesnt make sense that you would transfer over

"Is the person moved or are they killed and a clone with the same memories created"

that depends on if there's a special connection to your arrangement from something in a sense outside of time and space

These people cloned themself and went to sleep, and in their clone bodies they performed highly dangerous jobs. One day the real ones woke up while the clones still existed.

in abstract space

That was a cool Dr.who episode

Its like eating a sandwich, dropping it on the floor and getting dirt in your mouth

@Le Meme man Oh yeah "the Flesh"

That shit was disgusting

Doesnt make sense

I think there's something special about conciousness that is tied to our physical bodies

I think its just good coding

I dont think consciousness is special

I think as an answer to the teleport/transfer mind into pc question You/The person in question would die and a clone with the same feelings/memories/etc would be created

We are special but our consciousness isnt imo

Now what the concept of dying and what that does is another question

it's an emergant property but what significance it has an emergent property that's hard to say

I dont think you have to die, i think in the future we can download our brain infos

Actually, this reminds me of something in homestuck(pls no bully)

The moment you upload it though, it becomes something different gradually

@Deleted User But how would "you" not die? Or how would anyone know that you didn't

Due to evolution

Cause the thing that claims to be "you" will have all your memories and feelings

it'll think that it's you

but you might be dead

I think there is generalized conciousness then indivdual sparks of that immortal thing within each person

Nah

Because

If i cloned myself rn
