also: how do you even "upload" your mind? your consciousness is stored in physical form - neural pathways. even if you find a way to somehow transfer them into digital form, i am not sure that the copy of your brain will be the actual you with YOUR OWN consciousness, and not just an independent copy of you.

@tillianisafox Honestly, that's how I've always thought it would work. If it's not the same you, can it really be considered the same you?

if you accept that consciousness is an illusion then there's no problem!

@nomi @XanIndigo @tillianisafox Consciousness may or may not be, but it is hard to deny that you currently see through your body's eyes.
