RE: How do you perceive your ideal self in the technological future? A DeepThink Challenge
While I am with the OP on the overall picture, indeed I would love most of Star Trek's society, I have one major gripe with the Technology. Transporters. While they may one day be technically possible, let us think. You dematerialize a person, transport data by (let's say, radio) link, then rebuild them. That basically means you make a copy of a person, then kill the original that stood on the pad. That's not good.
yes! this is a good point!..
Maybe the transporter of the future will instead just literally transport the matter as well.. and also worth mentioning is that IF we are the soul and not the body our soul can shift also instantly and so we are still the same person.. Bit deep that but also i feel is true.
Perhaps you are correct, IF we are the soul, then it may be. As you say, a bit deep.
