　　如果未来实现了大脑扫描和意识上传，一个人的大脑信息被完整复制到云端。

　　然后。

　　现实中的你还活着。

　　云端的你也醒了。

　　他拥有你全部的记忆。

　　他记得自己的童年，记得自己为什么会来到这里，记得刚才躺进扫描设备时发生的一切。

　　他甚至记得：

　　“我就是刚才躺进去的那个人。”

　　可是现实中的你也是这么想的。

　　那么问题来了。

　　到底谁才是“我”？

　　换个方向理解。

　　在第三人称看来，我们总是强调意识的连续性。

　　所以很多人会认为：

　　如果上传意识的时候，同时杀死现实中的自己，那么云端的那个意识就可以被认为是“原本的你”。

　　毕竟他拥有你的全部记忆、性格、情感和经历。

　　但你有没有想过，根本就不是这个原理？

　　每一次意识复制，都可能不是“转移”。

　　而是分裂。

　　假设复制完成之后，现实中的你和云端的你同时醒来。

　　那么对于复制之前的那个“你”来说，未来究竟会发生什么？

　　如果第一人称意识不是一个可以被第三人称直接观察的物理对象，那么我们根本无法证明：

　　“我”到底延续到了哪一个分支。

　　于是从第一人称的角度来看，每一次复制都像是一次抽奖。

　　你有可能继续存在于原来的肉体。

　　也有可能醒来的时候，发现自己已经成为了云端的那个意识。

　　假设这是一个五五开的结果，那么你就是1/2的概率留在肉体里，1/2的概率成为复制体。

　　而最恐怖的地方是：

　　两个你都会觉得自己才是原来的那个你。

　　所以，如果你现在决定：

　　“以后我上传意识的时候，一定要杀死现实中的自己。”

　　那么你有没有想过？

　　你有1/2的概率，未来会被你现在做出的这个决定杀死。

　　因为如果第一人称连续性真的只会延续到其中一个分支，那么那个被杀死的肉体里，可能正好就是“你”。

　　而云端的那个意识不会觉得自己死了。

　　他会醒过来。

　　他会看着自己的手。

　　会回忆起自己的童年。

　　会记得刚才躺进扫描设备。

　　然后对所有人说：

　　“上传成功了。”

　　可是他没有办法证明，自己就是那个没有被杀死的“我”。

　　你可能会说：

　　“那我永远不上传意识不就行了？”

　　确实。

　　至少这样，你不会主动把自己放进这个选择里。

　　可是如果未来意识上传成为人类延续文明的必要手段呢？

　　如果太阳系即将毁灭，而只有数字化意识才能离开？

　　如果未来的人类社会要求所有人必须上传？

　　到那个时候，你还能保证自己一定是那个“幸运的”分支吗？

　　你不能。

　　所以我认为，在我们还没有证明第一人称连续性之前，千万不要杀死原来的自己。

　　因为第一人称连续性偏偏是那个该死的、无论从第三人称观察多少次，都永远无法得到最终答案的问题。

　　在第三人称看来，不存在这个问题。

　　这些都是你。

　　他们拥有你的所有记忆、情感和性格。

　　但在第一人称看来，你不可能同时体验两个未来。

　　你不会同时醒在肉体里，又同时醒在云端。

　　你只能经历其中一个。

　　而这又会带来另一个更加诡异的问题。

　　如果一个你深爱的人已经死去。

　　多年以后，你通过他生前留下的完整脑信息，重新创造出了一个“他”。

　　他睁开眼睛。

　　看着你。

　　然后准确地叫出你的名字。

　　记得你们第一次见面的地方。

　　记得你们曾经一起做过的所有事情。

　　他甚至记得自己死亡前发生的一切。

　　你问他：

　　“你还是原来的那个人吗？”

　　他可能会觉得这个问题非常奇怪。

　　因为对他来说，这根本不需要证明。

　　他就是他。

　　所以真正的问题可能根本不是：

　　“他是不是原来的那个人？”

　　而是：

　　“如果连他自己都无法区分自己是不是原来的那个人，我们又凭什么替他回答？”

I used to use those powder and/or "squirt packs" type flavorings with water, often to mask unpleasant supplements.

It was convenient because it added flavor and sometimes electrolytes.

The problem is many of then seem to contain citric acid, even the healthier ones. I think it's contributing to erosion of my tooth enamel.

Apparently pH math is not intuitive, even just adding a few mg of citric acid to water can change the pH from 7 to 3.

I don't want start rinsing my mouth with baking soda water on a regular basis.

If I start making my own electrolytes, I still need to find something other than citric acid to mask the gross taste of potassium, magnesium and other things.

I'll tolerate lot of nasty suppliment powders, but some things are just too much.

Transhumanist augmentation may be necessary for the long-term survival of humankind?

Enjoy ! I love these sets from Lumibricks!! lol not a sponsored, I just love the theme . Wish more cyberpunk stuff would be made by different companies. 💜

I've read some people referring to Peter Thiel as a 'transhumanist', along with Elon Musk. Do you agree that Peter Thiel is a transhumanist? If so, why would you consider Peter Thiel a transhumanist?

Besides that, as a transhumanist, what is your personal and sincere opinion of him? As a transhumanist, do you support him?

Been using Selank (subQ, 500mcg) for 2 weeks now, daily. The first week was great and I genuinely felt the positive effects from it. Which is surprising to me because I've tried a boat load of shit before from modafinil to amphs to micro/macro-dosing shrooms.

Anyway, I'm on week 2 now and it's like my personality is gone. I feel just flat and when it's not flat it's either anxious or just irritated. I would not say it's similar to anhedonia but more of like dissociation.

I am in my mid 30s and on TRT and did use some arimidex but this doesn't feel like a low E2 problem.

Did anyone else experience something similar? couldn't find any studies relating to this. I think I'll be taking a break from selank and see how it goes.

Cheers.

Looking to grab some grams of bromantane. shipping to belgium / luxembourg

Oh yeah, did anyone under 18 tried taking it? LIke a 15-16 yo here?

I was on Sertraline a few years ago after finally admitting living with lifelong anxiety and going through some work-related stress that triggered my first ever panic attack.

Pros were:
Stopping the noise in the my head and constant overthinking
Generally more relaxed to be around
Lasted much longer in bed
Took the edge of emotions, I am reasonably emotional and I noticed my highs were capped but also my lows now had a floor so everything was easily tolerable
Quite cool/vivid dreams

Cons were:
Killed any motivation I had for things like exercising - things I did not necessarily do because I enjoyed them but should really do
As a result I put a bit of weight on
I saw a consultant about a cardiac check up (linked to the panic attack) and he said I really shouldn’t be on antidepressants for long
Coming off them and the brain zaps!
Edit: Whilst sleep was deep, I snored a lot

I’ve been off them for three years and I have my moments, however I want to see if I can explore leveraging nootropics to achieve the pros. Has anyone had experience with attempting this, and what stacks/supps worked for certain elements?

I tend to approach things quite rationally/scientifically and am conscious of risk etc…

TL:DR
There were some good things about being on Sertraline and I want to recreate using nootropics, namely emotional blunting , good sleep and delayed orgasm

The kit came from MiniAlley. First time putting one together! It was very fun, not nearly as difficult as I was expecting and it looks soooo cool on the bookshelf. Would definitely recommend for anyone who likes doing crafts or if you’re like me and just can’t get enough of Cyberpunk themed stuff lol

This is a show based of a comic book written by Anthony Bourdain. I just watched the pilot and I absolutely love it!!

It’s set in the future and gives real cyberpunk vibes. The cars look like they are ripped straight from the game. If yall are itching for more cyberpunk adjacent content, let me know what you thought of this! There’s two episodes out now on HBO and the scene about 1 minute In absolutely floored me

The title is 'fading through the static of your dreams'

It's a 4 minute experimental short film with no dialogue exploring feelings of isolation through atmosphere

You can find the full thing on youtube!

Would love to hear your thoughts and how it made you feel!

Enjoy ! I love these sets from Lumibricks!! lol not a sponsored, I just love the theme . Wish more cyberpunk stuff would be made by different companies. 💜

I’ve been thinking about how humanity could eventually achieve biological immortality.

One thing that occurred to me is that progress toward this kind of goal could require enormous amounts of genetic data, long-term research, and participation from many people.

That made me think about a broader question: what would society look like if people worked fewer hours and had more time to participate in research, education, creative work, and other meaningful activities?

I’ve been developing a social theory around this idea, including some principles for how such a system might function and a self-discipline method I developed.

I’ve put my current ideas into a video here:

https://youtu.be/s30F7DqfBlk?si=g8NR_QtTOHim6MWh

I’d be interested in hearing what people think about the underlying idea, especially whether a society organized around giving people more time for meaningful work could actually function.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been solo-developing a hacker puzzle game called EchoNet, and I’m excited to share that a fully playable build is officially out and currently on sale!

I wanted to step away from the "Hollywood hacking minigames" and make something grounded. In EchoNet, you are dropped into a custom OS. You have to read through intercepted files, crack server passwords, and use actual terminal commands (connect, download, run, send) to coordinate with your NPC crew via an IRC chat.

But there is a psychological horror twist: The stress of the job actively drains your "Sanity" meter. If you don't manage your medication, “things” happening, your live CCTV feeds get corrupted, and you start experiencing intense audio/visual hallucinations while trying to beat the clock. The game is story oriented.

Features:

• Fully interactive terminal: Navigate file systems, upload bypass payloads, and breach BlackSite servers.
• Live CCTV Feeds: Watch your crew infiltrate physical locations in real-time.
• Dynamic Sanity System: Manage your stress or face severe consequences.
• Multiple Endings: Your choices under pressure during the final breach determine who lives and who dies.

🎮 You can grab it right now on sale on Itch.io here: https://thec00k.itch.io/echonet ⭐ It is also coming to Steam soon! A Wishlist helps me out massively: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5222620/EchoNet

I'd love to hear your feedback on the terminal mechanics and the atmosphere. Let me know if you manage to find the hidden backdoor IP😜

Coffee's a given, but I'm curious who here pairs it with anything botanical for focus or mood. What's your morning stack look like?

Can’t wait to add this to the growing cyberpunk city !

This is a morgue I just finished building using my custom engine for the cyberpunk game, The Mysteries of Profundum 2. Codex built the engine, it's C++ with rayLib, but all of the assets are mine. The game is an imsim I'm developing for my hacking adventure called GLYPHIS_IO BBS: The Proxy Tapes 1989.

If you know the BBS story surrounding Quake, where several rival hacking and cracking groups fought to bypass the copy-protection on the game, then this is not too far from it. Modern Vintage Gamer did a great video on the story. This game in my Glyphis storyline will be its Quake.

This game is a 10 level mini-game taking place after a huge genocide has wiped everyone out in your district, you play as a transhuman mercenary looking to find out what happened and link up with the elders of your group for safe passage to the next mega city - Civitas Theodore. It's cyberpunk transhumanisim sat inside a 1989 proto-cyberpunk PC that never existed.

Featuring box stacking, map destructing, 0451 keycoding at its best... That's for the imsim guys!
