@cathedralwhatev This seems falsifiable to me. Thought experiment: there are two such entities. Which one is you?

@St_Rev @cathedralwhatev Let me know when science comprehends consciousness, creates one in a computer, and xfers it onto a meat platform. -
@mr_archenemy @cathedralwhatev Suspect it's a non-issue; cyborgization/gradualism is likely to far outstrip recording. -
@St_Rev @cathedralwhatev I'm TOTALLY down with transhumanism, biological/whatever immortalityishness, etc -
@mr_archenemy @cathedralwhatev Generally I find abstract arguments about stuff like this tiresome, bc a) they're about inaccessible objects

@St_Rev@mr_archenemy @cathedralwhatev anti-realism about personal identity: identity is *stipulated*, not discovered. -
@St_Rev@mr_archenemy @cathedralwhatev consider HMS Victory-repaired many times. Same ship? To carpenter, no; to ship designer, yes. -
@simplic10@St_Rev To designer, copy is the same ship, but clearly not if original still extant. Simplification, consciousnes not involved -
@mr_archenemy@simplic10 I think this argument is homologous to the creationist argument about when a species turns into another one.
