you must also reject the MWI, because you live
Who is "you"? Telmo's post was only 63 words long but the pronoun
"you" was
used 8 times, that's almost 13%. When it is necessary to hide behind
personal pronouns when a philosophical idea regarding duplicating
machines
and personal identity is discussed it's clear that something is
wrong.
in the first person,
Which first person? The first person of John Clark of one hour ago?
The
first person of John Clark standing left of the duplicating
machine? The
first person of John Clark standing right of the duplicating machine?
You're avoiding my question. Why don't you also reject the MWI?
I would like to know that too. Quentin has already asked this many
times to John, and we got unclear answer.
John invoked the fact that with comp the duplication are done only in
one branch of the universe, but did not explain why would that change
anything (without adding some non Turing emulable magic in some place).
I think Quentin is right, and John C. just develop irrational rhetoric
do avoid moving on in the argument, ... then he talk like if I was
defining comp by its consequences, but this is another rhetorical
trick, often used by those who want to mock the enterprise.
It is interesting. I try to figure out what is really stucking him so
much. i do the same with my students in math. Why some people avoid
reason in some circumstance. Given that Quentin seems to qualify
himself as atheist, it can't be simply Clark's atheism, isn't it? But
then what?
