past me was a loving rear end in a top hat and future me is a toolbagIronClaymore posted:So here's me, the transporter tech. Your shuttle will take ten minutes to dock with us and consume a gazillion gallons of fuel doing so. Maybe I just do a thing, you find yourself onboard, or a version of you does with all your memories identical with you in every way, using some energy to matter replicator thingies no one knows about but me. (Not really energy to matter the atoms of your new body are taken from the air there's plenty of spare atoms in the hold.) yeah but remember when Lt Broccoli finally went through you and there were other beings and poo poo trying to pull him into the data stream or whatever No thanks buddy. Post-scarcity economy anyway. In fact just hook me up with a holosuite on Earth and I'll never leave that room.

Moridin920 posted:past me was a loving rear end in a top hat and future me is a toolbag Great. Another holosuite drone. In the future: the vast majority of people doing nothing and living in holosuites, a small group of Patrick Stuarts getting paid a good amount to tear around the universe looking for the poo poo, and an even smaller group of engineers working 16 hour days making it all work. Yeah, no coincidence they chose the engineer guy, the one guy who did everything in his power to make an almost normal family life with his wife and daughter, to make him spend a lifetime in virtual reality prison cell with constant starvation and make him murder his best friend, just as a plot point.

There was all those episodes where like someone would get all hosed up with Alien disease genetic cancer diarrhoea or whatever and they'd be like "We have their pattern in the transportafier's data banks, we can just run them through it and correct all those issues". But did they ever put a dead person through there to do the same thing? They still got that bullshit pattern, but nope. They just are like "oh dear he dead nothing we can do". All the same parts are there just their heart stopped or whatever, should have worked. The entire crew was maladjusted morons.

Applewhite posted:Yeah that sounds like bullshit to me. when you lose consciousness your body is a meat sack, like former vegetable Terri shivo. there is absolutely no person in the meat sack and you have effectively seized to exist. if you are lucky, your body will start up a new, almost identical consciousness when you wake up and it can pretend like nothing happened. Always remember that you are not your body, you are something your body does. only the body has true continuity. where did you think you were going when you fall a sleep?

I was real stoned when I saw The Prestige but I thought that whole thing was stupid too The machine works by sticking a cat or a hat into the machine and it poops out a copy nearby Oh no, which one is the original? The one in the goddamn machine, dummy. That's how it works You can examine a very similar process by sticking a piece of paper on the glass of a xerox machine there is very little room for existential angst Also, the Batman character apparently decided to start living a double life before beginning the years-long development process where he decided that he had to commit his whole life to his act and do whatever it took to be the best magician, for instance being twins each living a double life like a crazy man. Good thing he was already doing it when he first met literally every other character including the ones who were around when he learned this important truth looooool also scarlet johanson sucks she literally can't do anything that isn't "Look, I'm scarlet johanson being an actress" in every goddamn role Tujague fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 1, 2015 |
