You are 'caring' objectively, we live subjectively, so your caring is of purely academic interest, even, dare I say it, to you.
Subjective continuity is illusionary, you placing import on this illusion is up to you of course, but there is no substantive difference between the discontinuity experienced by your 'copy' in the cloud and what you experience yourself moment to moment.
- wutwutwat 2y agoA copy of me continuing on not knowing or caring that it's a copy of me is of little importance to me. That's not my point. My point is that I will not be continuing on. Sure, a copy that thinks it's me will, and to the world, that would be me. It would have my memories and make decisions based on those memories in a way that would be the same as I would. But that wouldn't be me, literally. My mind, my inner voice, my experience of reality through my mind's eye, would not exist. I wouldn't exist. A copy of who I was continuing on doesn't help me, literally.
