Comment on Am I? Who knows
candybrie@lemmy.world 1 year agoYes. But that’s not what’s happening in teleportation. It doesn’t use the same parts, but different ones arranged in the exact same way.

Depends on the teleportation system. In star trek you are comprised of the same physical material, just converted to energy and back. I could be wrong though, I’m no expert. I think a more interesting question is, would you be more ok being killed in one place, having your body be transported mundanely and being revived at your destination, or being cloned perfectly and then having the original killed? Theoretically the same to you either way

Not same you. As soon as the same tech can be used to clone, it feels fundamentally different.

You die in one place, and a consciousness that thinks it’s you starts in another place. Does the order really matter?

Yes.
