Ah sorry, I was trying to make emphasis on the part that the robot is an empty shell for us and not specially on human consciousness being easy to swap/just software (for which I agree with you). Edit: After thinking and reading about it, I think that is actually the opposite in the other direction. What might shock us is the concept of the spirit being transfered, while for Shintoism that is not such a shocking concept since they are not so concerned with the afterlife and their spirit will just join nature: "The afterlife, and belief, are not major concerns in Shinto; the emphasis is on fitting into this world instead of preparing for the next, and on ritual and observance rather than on faith." - interesting read: https://www.japanspecialist.co.uk/travel-tips/shinto-buddhism/ https://www.japanspecialist.co.uk/travel-tips/shinto-buddhis...
