It's like playing a rpg with 'your' body as an avatar. Which means there's (almost) nothing left except pure will. Very useful, can be used to make a character do things it wouldn't normally do and/or become much more efficient. Everything seems inherently pointless, may as well go with inertia of old goals.
That's how I imagine the first transhumans to think, only with more than one body and hopefully truly independent (ie. mind uploading, distributed computing or something similar).
- mattbettinson 10y agoWeird you enjoy it. Depersonalization was a hellish experience for me.
