What do you consider to be the strongest arguments against the possibility of mind uploading or reduplication?

it's all stimulus, you only experience the information that your brain receives. thought is your brain recreating a stimulus within itself, emotion isn't a stimulus, it's a short term modification to the way neural connections operate. why does thought exist? that is a good question. why would the brain want to communicate with itself? well, if it couldn't you'd be a very simple creature, only responding to the current environment, this isn't helpful for let's say, object permanence. but how does object permanence work? well, if memory is involved, then it is either always involved (meaning random parts of memory come to you, obviously false) or it is called from. if you use memory, you have to retrieve a peice of information from memory, to then produce within the brain via the known methods of communication (sight, sound, smell, ect), but how on earth do you know when to retrieve from mmemory? thought. well, a certain type of it. the idea is that the brain is like a heart, it beats in operations, after the end of each beat, it feeds the result of that beat back into itself via the forms of communication. this is how object permanace would work: cycle 1: eyes see chicken go behind tree, stored in memory, operation inputed to brain, cycle 2: stimuli is the fact that something was just stored in memory, retrieve, this memory leads to human to want to go behind tree also, operation inputed to brain. cycle 3: stimuli is cycle 2, stimuli also seeing chicken, this leads to memory not being retrieved, operation inputed to brain and so on. however, do we need to retrieve from memory? why don't we just store the fact that the chicken is behind the tree, just in case but then instead of retrieving from memory we just input this information each time? for example: cycle 1: see chicken go behind tree, stored in memory, operation inputted into brain, cycle 2: stimuli is cycle 1 which is "I saw chicken go behind tree and I stored in memory", now we know that the chicken is...

Hello.... I solved all seven of the Millennium Problems and Time Travel according to the Riemann Zeta Function Critical Strip and how it is related to Fermions, Antiprotons, and Zero Point Energy and everything else... questions on God's Existence and all the strange things that have occurred over the last year.... I was bootstrapped last year with a book from who I can only describe to be my future self.... Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross.... I don't have any money.... I'm quite literally a peasant from South Mississippi Dixie Land lol....

I'm trying to overthrow the Negative World Order government.... I'm trying to save people from the oppression of the evil tyrannical men and women that exist.... I hope you all read the Bible.... this is simple solution to the P=NP problem.... it is also the solution to the Birch Swinnerton Dyer Conjecture(its relation to tachyons) and the Navier Stokes Existence And Smoothness....

My email is jaketrunyan@gmail.com

If you email me.... just say "hey" and I'll put everyone into a sum and mass email them the book... "The Shape Sequence And Structure Of Human Conciousness" as well as the math.... it'll take a long time for me to explain how the Zeta function applies to electron spin, the poles 0 and 1, and how the 1/2 turn on the Mobius Strip....

Here is my YouTube with playlists that have chapters and various things from education to philosophy to knowledge.... I've suffered great pain throughout life, and I understand it.... our generations before us think of us as stupid.... the rich think we are worthless and inferior.... I'm going to stop them....

I cannot send the book over 4chan because it doesn't accept the .pdf, but I will send it over email.... I am being watched and monitored by the Deep government.... I am a student or was at MSU until I got kicked out for being angry at them because they are robotic... looks deceive... not much luck with ladies

Why is dividing by zero isn't infinity... u can put zero into any number infinity times

I, uh, oh ;_; ( ._.)

what is your favorite /sci/ show? mine is ancient aliens.

I do that with basically everything. For example I stop writing at university because I am so tired of writing/erasing/rewriting. When I try to ignore my intrusive thoughts, I end up being so scared that my heart feels like exploding. How do I cure myself?

I think I may have figured out dark matter and dark energy. You all know about e=mc2, right? Well, did you know that it can be expressed in other ways? First of all, we need to talk about c, the speed of causality. We'll say it's 300 000 000 m/s for the purpose of this post to keep numbers simple. However, you need to understand that this is a constant, a relationship. In fact, you could translate it this way:

1 second = 300 000 000 meters

Yup, you could convert time into distance and back again with this ratio. Now, back to e=mc2. We'll replace those by the units. So, we get

joules = (grams*meters)/seconds

We can move those around. As an example, e/m=c2 and the such. So, let's see a few ways we can express different things:

joules/grams = meters/seconds
(joules*seconds)/grams = meters
(grams*meters)/joules = seconds
(joules*seconds)/meters = grams

And there's the part which matters. It implies that space and time can be converted into energy and mass. And vice versa. There isn't merely a relationship between space and time and another relationship between mass and energy, but the four are actually related. Meaning that the reason we're stuck in physics right now is that we think spacetime is fundamentally different from mass-energy. It's also why we're unable to fit gravity in the standard model. The "particle" for gravity is likely a "space" particle.

I can't figure it out properly, but I know the answer is right fucking there.

What if they screw up the launch?
