I'm a dualist but there is nothing mystical about that, I just believe that nouns and adjectives refer to different things, nouns refer to physical objects and adjectives refer to nouns. > *I suppose you would say that if someone believe "he" can be copied and > uploaded in a virtual environment then he is a dualist * I agree again. A standard dictionary will say Information is a noun but I think that demonstrates an inconsistency in human language because adjectives describe nouns and so does information. In the case of uploads information describes the way generic atoms are arranged, and this time I agree with the dictionary, atoms are nouns. Arrange atoms one way and they're me, arrange those exact same atoms another way and they're you.
