What makes you so sure of that? What is the important difference between the copy and you, assuming that they behave identically?
How much "like" you would a copy have to be before it caused you ontological distress?
- ericb 14y agoIt isn't about degree of similarity. If I don't have access to their mental state, they are not me. I think I am like an instance of an object, and my identity is related to my path through space and time. To be me, they'd have to be standing where I stand, and have stood where I stood. A 100% copy of the mona lisa is still not the mona lisa--it lacks the history.
- scotty79 14y agoYou don't always get what you want. When mona lisa gets destroyed 100% copy becomes just as good with it's own history of being perfect copy of something that had long history.
