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.

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?

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

Er? It’s a philosophical conversation since you know brain uploading is not a thing.
If you don’t want to engage in philosophy, you’re in the wrong place.

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

Yeah. In the example above the original is dead, and a clone with all of your memories up until the point of death is generated.
In that case, there is continuity of concussions, at least as far as anyone can tell, least of all the clone.

Obviously not, but what is the functional difference? If you can’t tell it’s happening, does it actually matter?
Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes, yes it matters a lot. If you die you do not wake up again.

Sorry, should have been more specific. If you died in your sleep every night and came back to life in the morning, and you couldn’t tell it was happening, would it matter?
