Startrack benefits from a visual illusion. You see one person fade away, then the same person gets reconstituted elsewhere. The whole point is that that machine would work if you were alive,. So it's not reconstitution. And an entam, you're right. If, after i'm killed, somebody who was just like me exactly took care of my kids, it would be a comfort to that. But, but, it's, but i'd still be dead. Is there any difference? Fo me, none. That's interestd dave, i deuce.
Can a fully determined creature deliberate? How big a role does conscious reasoning play in moral judgment and everyday life? Are we responsible for our thoughts and actions? Paul Bloom rejoins us against his better judgment to discuss his book "Just Babies" and his recent article in The Atlantic that set the internet on the fire and riled up the likes of Sam Harris and Jerry Coyne. Plus, what's the difference (if any) between getting into a Star Trek transporter and getting an axe to the head, and why does David know so much about boy bands?
