Irrationality Game: I am something ontologically distinct from my body; I am much simpler and I am not located in the same spacetime. 50%
EDIT: Upon further reflection, my probability assignment would be better represented as the range between 30% and 50%, after factoring in general uncertainty due to confusion. I doubt this will make a difference to the voting though. ;)
Why would you be much simpler if you were ontologically distinct?
The ";" was meant to be simply a "and also" rather than a "therefore."
I think that I'm much simpler than my body, and that is one of the reasons why I think I'm ontologically distinct. With 50% probability.
EDIT: Another answer I endorse: If I'm ontologically distinct from my body, then who knows how complicated I am--but apply Occam's Razor, such that I'm only as complicated as I need to be, and the result will be that I'm much simpler than my body. Anyone who believes that uploading would preserve consciousness should agree with this, since uploading (can) change the medium of computation to a simpler one.
