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.

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.

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

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It does stop. When you are asleep you are unconscious.

Leaving the top track empty is clever
