Do people actually believe this?

Some days? i mean i keep on putting something i know i put it there and it gone?

That's a glitch in the Matrix.

i know...some days i think i'm a background character in a game

A quantum hologram may as well be a simulation.

Yes, we are in a simulation

You must also be friends with my friend who says you cannot simulate consciousness therefore we must not be in a simulation

Submitted for your approval...actually pretty curious about your take

Hahaha no. See the bad Ahnold movie “The Sixth Day”. A copy of your mind has a copy of your consciousness not the original

Yerp. Even a perfect duplicate of you a la a Star Trek transporter malfunction wouldn't really be YOU. At least not the you that you care about. (Speaking of movies, I'm suddenly reminded of The Prestige...again.)

Any replica of a person would offer no more immortality than entering cultural mythology. 🙄

Follow-up question, this time a potential head-scratcher: Star Trek transporters convert a person into energy and then reconstruct them somewhere else. Their consciousness remains intact during this process. What of their soul?
