They make a teleportation device. With a catch...

I..

  • Would do that

  • Would let someone else go through that so hopefully I don't have to go through that

So, teleportation is here. Actually its replication so the you that is standing here is Ctrl C, Ctrl V instantly to another location. In the process of the scan the first you, the real you, the current you is deleted. Killed in other words.

The second (or third, fourth etc..) you, the fake you, the new you is a pixel perfect copy of the one that jumped in the machine. So the you that steps out is a clone of the original. Early adopters get free lifetime use for themselves and a plus one but have to sign a waiver in case of unexpected side effects.

Would you use this tech?

No more waiting in queues, jetlag or the rest. You simply die and get instantly resurrected anywhere else on the planet. The process is painless. The edit invisible.

How do you feel about this? If no what prevents and if yes what do you think of the broader implications beyond convenience?

No, why on earth would I delete myself so that a clone could live?

Is it really a clone though if its totally indistinguishable down the last molecule? To us it may seem out there but in the future this could be the new wave just like people buy new whips because they serve a purpose or function. Or it could be a Ship of Theseus thing. "I'm still me because the human body is totally rebuilt every 7 years anyway. I'm just speeding it up while you, you're....".

I don't know what that it is but can you recap the story because if its like this it sounds interesting.

Very briefly, it is a VR sci-fi game where you teleport from your base to levels and back. In the game you learn that the teleportation that you and other people use kills the traveler and creates a copy.

If this is what I'm guessing, I think you fumbled the roll out a bit.

I'm pretty sure it goes that they're both 100% you.



For real I like to leave some room to breathe in the OP for peoples interpretation but yeah its you either way.

I thought that Rick and Morty episode was pretty good too :obama:

Link it up. I haven't watched that but I really get the feeling this is gonna be the wave at some point in the game before they create the real holodeck.
