If I died I wouldn't be around to know or care, but I would care in anticipation of dying, since it would radically alter my future experiences by eliminating them. On the other hand, 1->1 or many->1 copying would leave my future experiences the same as if the teleportation hadn't occurred. You might say that this is an illusion since the original me will actually be dead but the same illusion occurs in ordinary life, and it is the circumstances under which the illusion is preserved that interests me when I think about survival. -- Stathis Papaioannou --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
