  • Trouble as in I’m in trouble if I do. I’m a formally educated it security engineer running my own incorporated software and infrastructure company. Firstly: people just hear “computer guy” and their second thought is “he can fix my stuff”. So I stay near to the truth and simplify it: I’m a theoretical electrical engineer. Boom, instant bored face and they leave as fast as they can. My neighbors love me, but I haven’t fixed a single of their computers in decades.

    Also pro tip: the wife has the same qualifications as I, so she fixes her family’s stuff herself. My job is to lug stuff and the kids around at home.







  • It’s not about you being copied and destroyed. It’s about of continued consciousness. You are continually being killed and replaced by neurons dying off and others replacing the function. The problem is getting the information off the neurons without copy and kill. The key would be continuous transfer of neurons over time to a more longlived replacement. So you is still you and not you thinks it’s still you. Also… It’s up for debate if that matters as you are still a copy if you do nothing. But it solves the continued consciousness problem.
