Pretty ok article.

It has been years since I've last thought about personal identity. The last time it seemed a pretty reasonable and obvious conclusion to slightly less value the "me" stored in my body and value humans who where similar to me a bit more.

There seemed to be little point in (ceteris paribus) me being willing to spending more to save "my" life compared to saving the life a of a random average human A and not also expending at least something extra on person B who is say half way in "meness" between said random average human A and the part of me currently stored in my brain. And then expending a bit extra over that on person C who is halfway between me and person B. ect.

Like Robin Hanson said, if there is a imperfect copy of his brain running on a computer and you shot meant-Hanson in the head, Robin didn't really die but he did get smaller. Dying is in the modern era basically getting a lot smaller in the world and time you happen to care about.

Nearly all other humans dying or my culture & value-set going extinct might as a step actually make "me" much smaller than the death of my body would.

Edit: Some feedback besides the down votes or a counter argument would be very much welcomed. As I said it has been a some time and I need to review this cached opinion.
