One of these is not like the others.

What is "you" in this scenario if not your brain?

> One of these is not like the others.

Nah. All three are covered by my original statement:

  The best future for humanity is one where one need not work, need not get sick, need not die... where all of the awful parts of life are optional.

> What is "you" in this scenario if not your brain?

That's an excellent question. Are we the blob of fat that hangs out in our skull, our entire body (because of how changes in "distant" parts of it affect what our brain does), the parts of the patterns in our brain that seems to correspond to our conscious mind, some other thing or things?

I am utterly unequipped to answer that question, but hope that we collectively get around to trying in earnest to answer it. Maybe we might even do that before we get around to collectively deciding that it's a catastrophically bad thing for people to go without food and shelter? [0]

[0] Given what I see here in SF and elsewhere, it looks like we currently collectively consider it to be somewhere between "Not at all a problem" and "Yeah, maybe we should get around to fixing that some day. I _guess_.".
