A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
If we’re talking about atom-by-atom reconstruction, then the question is about philosophical zombies.
I don’t put much stock in any philosophies that say ~~you~~ the constructed being definitely would be a zombie. But I do believe in the possibility that ~~you~~ the constructed being could be a zombie.
ok, i'm too stupid for this picture...why are commenters implying you die when you use the transporter? it's next to the rails isn't it?
Have you seen "the prestiege"? I think that movie explains the problem perfectly.
It's also a really good movie so enjoy.
No. Not because teleporter but because no need for multi track drifting if other path clear.
Nah, I'll send Tom Riker.
And then you wake up. It was a dream
And YOU’RE DRIVING THE TRAIN!
The trolley problem but the only way to pull the lever is to take a nap first.
Since your consciousness stopped and then a new was started from the same meat is it still you?
If it is, then surely a new consciousness constructed from a pile of meat identical to your brain would also be you?
Your consciousness doesn't stop when you're asleep. Evidence: alarm clocks exist
Leaving the top track empty is clever
Technically it's cloning too. Just materialize in different teleporters at the same time.
