Comment on When you die, what do you want to be done with you?
bss03@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoIf it is possible for the mind to survive the death of the body, I also think uploading would be fine. It’s a risk to be sure, but not having a body would actually address a lot of my current disappointments.
If resurrection is possible, I’d like to think the death could be prevented. But, I’ll take it if uploading is not available and death of the body is still inevitable.

Makes me wonder what the experience would be like for the mind being uploaded. Do you feel like you have a body? Can you change what that body is? And before you do anything fun with that new hot body, you should know that anywhere you can go is still in a simulation, so you can be tracked and observed at all times.
Speaking of that, can you adapt to the concept of “being somewhere” becoming meaningless?

I think you can have a POV without having a body, and you can “be somewhere” based on your POV rather than your body.
But, I also think that probably not the only reasonable guess at what the uploaded experience is like.
