    what :jesse-wtf:

    original brain is destroyed to make the copy? bro its rotted out and doesnt exist unless you literally think its happening tomorrow, which if they do this is indistinguishable from a doomsday cult.

        yeah. i think its pretty funny that these dudebros are so high on their own supply that theyre basically saying 'woah, that twin of me, has like, my skin. woah. if its tortured im tortured.'

        turns out, yes, i can in fact tell that i am seeing through my own eyes and perceiving with my own senses, thanks. if its all a sham, who cares, some deity is playing tricks with me by making me think i have a butthole or something. sucks to suck :shrug-outta-hecks:

            its pretty silly. i dont even see why i'd be concerned if i was the OG kristina or not. i'd just be like 'ok cool we got a ton of at-will cuddle buddies with trauma now' and get on with life

            its all just immaterial, and yeah, magical. its also just a mishmash of scifi tropes which proves that these dudes have no original thoughts despite trying their hardest to make it seem intelligent and independent, and of course it ends in the epitome of 'rehash' by turning it into a doomsday cult that receives donations

              Hopping in the thread late, but after reading the wiki the whole thing reminds me of Montaigne.

              They would put themselves out of themselves, and escape from being men. It is folly; instead of transforming themselves into angels, they transform themselves into beasts; instead of elevating, they lay themselves lower. These transcendental humours affright me, like high and inaccessible places;

              And a bit below

              The pretty inscription wherewith the Athenians honoured the entry of Pompey into their city is conformable to my sense: “By so much thou art a god, as thou confessest thee a man.” ’Tis an absolute and, as it were, a divine perfection, for a man to know how loyally to enjoy his being

              Gotta be willing to accept being in a body where the only constant is change (something TERFS can never accept, being essentialists).
