Eu estranho o moto-contínuo ( com a nova ortografia o hífen é sempre uma duvida existencial pra mim ) não figurar nesta lista.
E eu não estranho estranhares...
Continuity of consciousness after uploading
While the prospect of uploading our minds into supercomputers remains a distinct possibility, it's an open question as to whether or not we'll also be capable of transferring our consciousness as well.
That is, "I believe in (immaterial, magical, supernatural, ...) soul and I don't believe such a marvelous divine more than a (possibly subject to be meant by a so mundane word like this one) 'thing' could be phisically transferred by so earthly mean means". Out of the way... minds and consciousnesses are distinctvely different things, as well...
Most uploading schemes describe the copying of neural information from biological to digital substrate - but what's often lost in the conversation is the question of how a person can suddenly be in two places at once.
Jumps from a scientific matter to a philosophical one as if there was a kind of pertaining continuity... Holy Prot!...
And even the 'bullshital' (philosophical) one is set wrongly! Damn... how disgusting to see the kind of thing... *Technically*, there are a number of possible considerations about "how to be at two different places at once". If someone is hit to swoon and carried to a relative remote location, when the one wakes up, will make no possible distinction as to a "different place than the one before at the same time or not"; in a ordinary situation the one just infers ones uniqueness because that's what is known so far, and we all are inducing machines, even the philosophical fugitives. And... the "from biological to digital" is pearly!
Destructive copying (similar to the teleportation problem), will still result in a perfectly replicated person who will adamantly insist that they're the genuine thing - but so would the other 50 copies.
"Destructive copying"?... Let's let that pass by...
But... fortheholyghost! The only difference of 'genuinity' between/among copies is... that they are... copies! There's the problem of statistical corruption of information, but it only applies where/WHEN (attention here!) strictly occurs (any effect). In any other case, nothing intrinsic to the proper information could possibly be used to distinguish a "genuine one".
As for the original source consciousness, it would cease to exist.
The (this, with the sense imorally implied here...) "consciousness" NEVER exists, NEVER existed, will NEVER exist. Eather the one accepts the fact or keep believing.
This is what's referred to as the "continuity of consciousness problem,"
This is what, in plain reality, is INDEED the 'S.O.A.B.' problem of *continuity of... (how could it be simpler?) philosophy*. The same damn thing that comes from before that... little one of Estagira.
and it's a matter of great contention in the philosophical, neuroscientific, and AI communities.
If that was a matter of contention among neuroscientists and AI researchers, there wouldn't be even this subject matter, what to say this bullshit talk here?!
That is contortion for *philosophers*, and no one else. And ins't that enough?!
Part of the problem is that we still don't have a developed science to explain the nature of consciousness,
Never will be enough science to explain what doesn't exist.
so we're left guessing.
"We" ...WHO pale faced?!
As futurist John Smart told io9,
"Futurist"? Another way of beautifully painting over the ugly face of a divining charlatan?
it's likely an issue that will never be satisfactorily resolved.
You don't say!?... And I would never guess that... that someone thinker like you would resource to that.
"This is an issue that will eventually start to take on religious or spiritual connotations,"
In short, "keep on feeding philosophers"?
Who would guess?...
he said, "people will just have to take a leap of faith and make the jump."
hahahahahahahahhaha...
discordo da 9. acho que seria possivel, desde que houvesse um sistema de substituição gradativa por "nano componentes" ou algo similar.
O que está ali não conflita com isso.
nosso cerebro iria gradativamente sendo substituido por material digital até ser 100% digital. essa mescla poderia acontecer com o resto do corpo até ter, de forma transicional um novo corpo cibernético e todo o resto.
("Material digital"???... Putz...
Aquele filme... Jason X deve ser muito inspirador...)
O nome disso é (deve ser) fossilização nanotecnológica de sistemas funcionais. Extraordinária tecnologia...
O que?! Só o cara pode ser "futurista"?
ai cairiamos no problema do barco velho (não lembro o nome) que de tanto ser reformado não tinha mais a madeira original que o criou ai podende ser ou não considerado o mesmo barco.
Mas nem "o mesmo barco" é o mesmo sempre. Isso não é questão filosófica, é fato mensurável. Todas as estruturas naturais se alteram com o tempo. Aceitamos que tantas coisas são "as mesmas de sempre" por limitação resolutiva nas amostrabilidades de mensuração e por pura conveniência, mesmo quando dizemos algo como "este barco velho já não é mais o mesmo de antes..." E não é MES-MO! Um dos principais atributos da mente sábia pensadora científica é ser capaz de manejar bem o devido compromisso entre conveniência, arbitrariedade e realidade.
Você está partindo do princípio de que existem limites físicos para a existência, de que a realidade é física/material, não imaginária.
