Jesus is dead bro. They crucified him, his heart stopped, oxygen stopped flowing to his brain... He's gone. Nothing happens after death, you're just gone.

If you'd stop responding to whatever nettling phantasm of your imagination that has you so riled up, and read my actual post instead, you'd realize that my "y u mad" response was appropriate. When you're this assmad about god knows what, it's barely worth it to debate with you.

But here goes. You're saying that I'm contradicting myself by dismissing the idea of a subject while also assuming a subject. That's pretty damning, I guess. Or it would be if I'd ever said anything remotely like that. What seems to have kicked your puppy is that I used the word "consciousness", "continuity", and "illusion" in the same sentence.

I don't deny that subjects exist. What would that even mean? Of course someone is there behind my eyes, only a dunce would believe otherwise. And only a frothing aspie would accuse someone else of believing otherwise.

I do deny the greentext at the start of my post: "absolute continuity of consciousness is a requirement for survival". The premise I'm arguing against is that one single gap in the biochemical chain of causation causes some crucial ingredient of the self to vanish, even when every single other content of the brain's informational content is preserved. I don't buy that.

The only knowledge that anyone has of their identity as a conscious being, comes from either self-awareness in the present, or introspecting on memories. And as soon as we're talking about more than a short duration ago (outside working memory), then subjectively it makes no difference the causal factors of the memory, for the purpose of identity. That is my thesis.

A person with unbroken meat-continuity, or the person who was flash cloned with a brain copy, or the person who was uploaded(copied) into a perfect simulation, these three all have the same claim on identity, in all the ways that matter. That's what I believe. So long as someone exists with that kind of claim to my identity, I would consider "myself" to survive the death of the original meat.

Remember: metals don't contribute anything to the economy, holding them is dead weight. It's completely moral for the government to set punitive taxes on metals to keep money in the real economy so hoarders don't hurt everyone else.

Yes but very minimal. You can clean it with hand soap if you're worried. And even if it corrodes, a little polishing brings silver back to a mirror shine. Handling PMs doesn't reduce value unless you are stacking mint proofs or ancient numismatics.

Add up all the hours you spend setting up Qubes, debugging it when it doesn't work, reading stackoverflow to help debug it, and other time sinks involved. Is your time so worthless that it's more efficient to do all of that (and hope you did it right and didn't miss anything), than to just send $60 and have dedicated airgapped hardware wallet?

Honest question.

You're right. It literally doesn't matter.
