A copy living on is meaningless to the original consciousness, since the subjective experience of the copy is decoupled from the original. There is no more connection than between you and me. You can dress this arbitrarily in grand words of leaving a dent and so on, but no matter the phrasing: once you’re gone, you’re gone. I don’t care if people remember me, if I cease to exist, I cease experience the world, and it’s all void.
