The Concept of Personal Identity in Relation to Virtual Reality and the Simulation Argument

This chapter explores the concept of personal identity in relation to virtual reality and the simulation argument. It discusses the possibility of transplanting brains into different bodies, having two bodies in a virtual world, and where a person's mind is located in a simulated environment. It also raises questions about preserving consciousness, uploading brains into simulations, and the importance of memory, consciousness, and psychology in determining personal identity.
