...your pattern reading this will begone before you begin the next sentence.

This echos the same feeling I have about all of this. If presented with an opportunity to make use of an instantaneous teleporter, I would. The patterns that ceased to exist during teleportation is no different from the patterns that ceases to exist every second of our lives.

Would I be mistaken if I said that the teleporter death problem does not present any philosophical quandary to you and you would use a teleporter?

I wouldn't say it's a quandry, but I'd still pay a few dollars to avoid it.
