    I don’t get the down votes. Did y’all forget about sleep? No one vividly dreams every night all night long. Often it’s the fade to black going to sleep then the sudden awakening.

        How would you know?

        How do you know you’re not a copy of yesterday’s you? If a clone has your memories and you’re not around anymore, then what’s the difference?

          Don’t try to get philosophical about this. There is a hard difference between copying a brain and actually transferring consciousness.

        Obviously not, but what is the functional difference? If you can’t tell it’s happening, does it actually matter?

            Sorry, should have been more specific. If you died in your sleep every night and came back to life in the morning, and you couldn’t tell it was happening, would it matter?

            It’s not a question with a right answer, I just want to hear your thoughts about it
