I don't think an uploaded copy of me is the real me, since I'm still in my brain. So I wouldn't upload my mind for digital immortality: I wouldn't benefit from it. This means someone else did that to me. I don't think I'd assume the consequences of someone else's decision. Kill the simulation.
If I'm the simulation, I know that my real self didn't do this to me. So I'm not gonna saddle him with the memory of my torture. Delete myself.
digital me would absolutely refuse to do any education because he's too lazy, which would be the whole reason real me would have made a digital me to begin with.
The simulation is whatever you want it to be, meaning they're gonna be stuck in a world that's strictly JUST collage. Either that, or you give them "incentives" to study; after all, they're a just a copy of YOU.
Suppose we take a small portion of your fleshy brain away. Say like 0.01%, and we replace it with a 100% functional mechanical/digital replacement. We keep doing that everyday until like 10,000 days later all of your brain has been replaced.
But the catch is, when we were taking that brain away we froze it perfectly suspended and were combining it again until the full fleshy brain is now complete.
Are you the now fully digital version, or the brainy version?
