But we are not talking about mitosis, so we don't need to go there. We are taking about a machine that assembles atoms on a remote planet. None of the atoms come from your current body. What magic would transfer your consciousness into this clone?
- Ukv 3y ago> But we are not talking about mitosis, so we don't need to go there I'm probing to get a better understanding of your belief system. How does it hold up under symmetrical cloning? > What magic would transfer your consciousness into this clone? I'll label: * PM: Physiological "me" - personality, memories, train of thought, currently instantiated as a brain * IM: "Immaterial" "me" - a "soul", impacted by the PM. May impact the PM or just be an observer (depending on variant of dualism) From what I understand, you believe there's an IM controlling a PM, and the IM is a different kind of stuff that would not be cloned. The IM generally follows the same PM, but could be "shaken off" from too-large changes. On cloning of PM you think this happens (at the instant of cloning): IM New soul | | PM PM You ask "Would you control both bodies, see through both set of eyes" because you thought sunaurus is proposing this happens: IM / \ PM PM Whereas I (and I think sunaurus) don't believe in an IM. We think two identical PMs really are identical persons, including whatever we'd call consciousness: PM PM Others may believe that IMs do exist but supervene on the PM (so identical PM has identical IM arising from it): IM IM | | PM PM
