> You will not wake up on any server. Interesting! Which atoms do you consider to be your identity? That demonstrate someone is the "same" person for a lifetime? And more importantly, why? If our identity involves any abstraction whatsoever, any independence from particular material constituents (whatever dependency could possibly mean in a universe where particles of a type are indistinguishable (i.e. can appear in different contexts but do not have identities), then we are not substrate bound. We just require isomorphism. (Any assumptions that there can only be one future "self", that isomorphic copies are neither inheritors or branches of our identity, require some clear explanation. To separate solid reasoning from our intuitions which are often strongly biased by a lack of prior experience.) | ||
