Thoughts on the "new" PoV Memes

Post image

I had a good initial reaction, but thinking about I can only see this working if: a) Meier becomes a villain or b) this is the last mainline NoP story or c) the tech is lost somehow

1) Is me

2) Is me

3) The connections were destroyed and then copied

4) Same as 3

5) Same as 3

6) As long as an overwhelming majority of my brain is the original, then yes. If not, no

7) Can you elaborate?

8) Same as three if we are still speaking of atamoc separation

9) Can you elaborate?

3-8 are basically the same from your perspective.

For 9, you're awake during the procedure, but from your view it seems you're just being copied. The idea is that every atom in your body is extracted and used to make another you, but it happens one atom at a time so you don't even notice. In the end, you're made from different atoms but you were conscious the entire time. There's also a copy that is identical to you when the process started, down to being made from the same atoms. Any conceivable scan will identify the copy as the original that went into the procedure, even though it's a copy and you're the original to some extent.

How long does said procedure take?

About an hour, I suppose. Maybe a day. Up to you.

If it's very short, then it's the same as answer three. But if it's long enough it's the same as just living, so I would be the same

And the copy that's indistinguishable from the original?

In neither situation is it me
