If your consciousness was uploaded to a computer would it really be you? You would still be dead and it would simply be something that believed it was you.
Or am I missing something?
An answer to this is a matter of philosophy. What's makes up the soul? Are you merely a conglomeration of experiences and memories or is there something deeper?
Very interesting!
But YOU has to be more than just the sum of your experiences. I mean, the sum of your experiences could, in theory, be recorded in a book. But that wouldn’t make the book you, right?
