Ideas, and memories can be made to survive the flesh in far simpler was. Personality less clearly so.
Personality can be roughly preserved by getting someone to know you well, the permanently roleplaying as you, especially if using hypnosis to make them think they really are you.
Do you gain a lot of intrinsic value from perpetuating one's personality (in that way)?
it makes more sense to me to be silly about "personal continuation" in this direction than in the non-uploading one that's far more common. Which is not saying much really.
I don't put any value to something being "the same" over time, but apparently most humans do, especially when it comes to people. If someone does care about someone's continuity in a way that follows the assumptions listed in my post, then logically they should derive value from the procedure described.
