    This is not a matter for voting. It is not a matter of scientific testing either. This is a matter of axioms / theology. (yes, I realize that Robin isn't asking people to vote to find the right answer, but to do research ; I'm just going off on a tangent)https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1135642407553228800 …

    You enter a Star Trek style transporter, & someone who looks & acts just like you & remembers being you walks out other side. But the original you stays and walks out this side. Which one(s) are now you?

        2/ I think Eddie is implicitly saying that I'm even more autistic than @robinhanson and ... that's...like the third best compliment I've ever received in my life. Sorry, getting a bit emotional rn.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1135653641371754501 …

        Robin's question, and thus poll answers, are poorly specified.

        The problem with Star Trek-style tech, the transporter in particular, is it solves too many problems for dramatic purposes. E.g., it had to be broken in one movie to explain a rescue mission. Also, why couldn’t Kirk materialize dozens of copies of himself to outnumber an enemy?

        This is much easier than everybody seems to think it is. Having your atoms disassociated is not a survivable event. The you that is you dies when it is torn apart by the transporter beam.

        Okay, then I'm asking each person to tell me what they think are the implications of the axioms they hold.

        I suppose I would start with asking what my answer would be to the hypothetical before the event—what does a transporter normally do (in my understanding) and is this outcome consistent with that understanding?
