Agh! You just killed "Me"! Thank you! It is true, the only distinction that I had really made between Me and Team-Me was classical physical continuity, that is the only place I could see to draw a line. If there is no line, and yes, I fearfully agree with you on that, then my reason for uploading or freezing (aside from survival-instinct projection) is to preserve something that runs on the same or similar programming as the rest of Team-Me. From an objective point of view, I wouldn't really consider my pattern worth preserving. What can Team Me do that a sufficiently advanced (and most likely more efficient) AI couldn't do better?
You sound like you're implicitly treating that "objective" point of view as more important than your actual (presumably subjective) point of view.
Is that true?
If so, on what grounds?
To answer your question, that is not true. The objective point of view and subjective points of view are equal, because they are just different points of view. If it sounds like I consider it more important, it is only because my mind actually does agree more with the objective view. At this point in time the subjective point of view is foreign to me. I find the big picture so fascinating that I become less concerned with my own part in it, but I don't expect that of anyone but me. I am more interested in creating something good than preserving something flawed, even if that thing happens to be me.
