If you had to choose a person whom you would instantly change/teleport into, who would it be? (living people only) You would have their mind, body, etc. Nothing of ‘you’ would transfer over.
Then what would actually change? If “nothing of me” transfers over, how is that different form present reality?
You would be the other person.
What part of me? You said I can’t take my memories or anything else, so what part of me would be Justin Timberlake?
I mean if I switched with Justin five seconds ago, nothing would have changed. Scylla is still typing, alone, on the internet, and Justin is still having incredible sex with the world’s hottest women.
If I’m not going to notice, what’s the point?
I’d like to be in Stephen Hawking’s shoes, because I imagine they don’t get much wear…
No, I’d be dead. If nothing of “me” transfers over, then what is it that replaces the other person? What you’re describing is my death, and the other person is unaffected.
Great, I woke up my wife by laughing at that ![]()
Sending solicitation for opinions to In My Humble Opinion.
It’s a trick question. The correct answer is to just be yourself.
I’d be that president of Iran, scrap the missiles and atomic bombs and build a gasoline refinery.
Plus, I’d recognize the holocaust and release the political prisoners and jail the ayatollahs.
I’d charge hikers who strayed across my border $1 per mile and let them go. Except they have to leave their bluejeans and wear our toga things home so they get treated like arabs by airport security.
I’d like to be Phred Phelps for a day, then I would kill myself. While wearing some bondage gear and watching gay porn.
If that suddenly happens to him and I disappear from the boards, please thank me by putting my children through college.
