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

2018-04-16 14:06:19 UTC  

We are special but our consciousness isnt imo

2018-04-16 14:06:30 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:06:51 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:07:23 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:07:23 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:07:59 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:08:03 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:08:04 UTC  

Due to evolution

2018-04-16 14:08:18 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:08:20 UTC  

it'll think that it's you

2018-04-16 14:08:24 UTC  

but you might be dead

2018-04-16 14:08:24 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:08:25 UTC  

Nah

2018-04-16 14:08:28 UTC  

Because

2018-04-16 14:08:36 UTC  

If i cloned myself rn

2018-04-16 14:08:42 UTC  

And punched him in the face

2018-04-16 14:08:50 UTC  

We have become different

2018-04-16 14:08:54 UTC  

Yes

2018-04-16 14:09:00 UTC  

But at the moment of you uploading yourself

2018-04-16 14:09:00 UTC  

It expands from there

2018-04-16 14:09:04 UTC  

You wouldn't be different

2018-04-16 14:09:07 UTC  

Right

2018-04-16 14:09:10 UTC  

then you, the original, dies

2018-04-16 14:09:10 UTC  

and the generalized conciousness presents to us the right path and beckons us forward into it

2018-04-16 14:09:14 UTC  

This one character got splintered into a bunch of different versions of himself, like an AI he made to automatically respond to his chat messages while hes away, and different timeline versions of himself. I liked the way they handled that

2018-04-16 14:09:17 UTC  

The clone will think its you

2018-04-16 14:09:28 UTC  

It will have all the means to prove its you

2018-04-16 14:09:40 UTC  

Well its wrong

2018-04-16 14:09:47 UTC  

We can prove it

2018-04-16 14:09:51 UTC  

You can't though

2018-04-16 14:09:55 UTC  

Yeah

2018-04-16 14:09:59 UTC  

it was an 100% precise copy

2018-04-16 14:10:03 UTC  

Then "You" died

2018-04-16 14:10:05 UTC  

and it lived

2018-04-16 14:10:14 UTC  

I died

2018-04-16 14:10:14 UTC  

catholic theology wraps this up in a metaphorical language that is digestible when you start to understand how it presents these mysteries

2018-04-16 14:10:20 UTC  

Dying was a trait of sega

2018-04-16 14:10:23 UTC  

i define myself as my continuous experiential existence

2018-04-16 14:10:26 UTC  

Sega 2.0 didnt die

2018-04-16 14:10:37 UTC  

Yeah but then "you" as a being isn't uploaded
