So don't worry about upgrading, I guess? As long as they think they're a seamless continuation of you, that's as good as anything is 4/?

@CurlOfGradient My guess is human consciousness is from mind applying narrative explanations to itself. So as long as you don't break that.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TristanSevers Yeah, as long as the narrative is unbroken, being destroyed and rebuilt on Mars is just as good as traveling there by ship.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@CurlOfGradient Don't think you even need unbroken narrative, the narrativization exists to paint over the gaps between mechanical impulses.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TristanSevers I'm talking more of a world-line than a story narrative; displacing a system without changing its state, no loose ends.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@CurlOfGradient Yeah, I'm not sure why you switched from discussing Ship of Theseus-type to Teleporter-type problems?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TristanSevers I think they're fundamentally they same issue. Continuing on past the teleporter is related to continuing on past upgrades.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TristanSevers I agree, I'm just against the position that the person with the upgrade / on Mars wouldn't be "you".2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
@TristanSevers It's definitely a process, which can be stopped and restarted, or modified in some way, while still being a continuation.
