I don’t get the down votes. Did y’all forget about sleep? No one vividly dreams every night all night long. Often it’s the fade to black going to sleep then the sudden awakening.
I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

You do not die every night.

How would you know?
How do you know you’re not a copy of yesterday’s you? If a clone has your memories and your bit around anymore then what’s the difference?

You’d have to experience death for the clone to continue being the only copy.

Don’t try to get philosophical about this. There is a hard difference between copying a brain and actually transferring consciousness.

Obviously not, but what is the functional difference? If you can’t tell it’s happening, does it actually matter?
Maggoty@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Yes, yes it matters a lot. If you die you do not wake up again.

That’s not what he means and you know it.

Except our brains are still functioning. If they didn’t keep functioning, we’d be brain dead. The point is that there’s a common thread that connects every waking moment together.
