"skeptical of anything that lets me get duplicated as being a consciousness transfer"

The ideas in the post are all functional. Whether there's a consciousness transfer or not, they all are reasons that a given person emulated at real time speed could have the output of someone much more intelligent and focused.

EDIT: this was unclear. Less "a given person emulated at real time speed" and more "per emulated-person-hour".
