Yes, U are eternal.

No E are eternal, U are about 60-120 years.

[Armok]

BTW, Armok is way ahead of us on this exciting thought roller-coaster.

Corect. Further ahead than I think most of you could even imagine.

Don't forget, he can feel the 4th dimension with his   arms. That's WAY advanced.

Uhh, what? you mean time? No, my arms can't tell the future.

Orange: That depends on what I am. If I get an instant clone made, this is pretty clear. I am looking at the clone, through my eyes. When you cut me, the clone doesn't bleed. I am not the clone, and the clone is not me, even though we are completely identical in every way. Depending on the cloning setup, it might be completely impossible to determine which one (if either!) of us is the original, but you can plainly see we are not the same person.

At other times, this is somewhat more ambiguous. I am quite drastically different from myself three years ago, in several ways. Does this mean that I am a different person? Did the earlier me gradually die and get replaced by new me? I have no idea! There's virtually no way to avoid this, however, so I choose not to care. If teleportation via breaking my body into component particles and assembling it elsewhere was commonplace, I might choose to not care about that either.

As for the possibility that we all die and are reformed every time we go to sleep, well, I can't disprove that but there is no evidence whatsoever suggesting that it does happen.

And if it's a roller-coaster, it goes around in circles. It doesn't matter if someone is "ahead".

No, not the future.

I can feel through arms on my eyeballs, it's not that hard, tactile rendering is sometimes easier than visual for many things even.

Not the 4th dimension, but something.

@clones: I never cese being suprised at the sheer patheticness of these forums evry atempt at anything remotely philosopical...

Hey that has a link in it! *Reads*

Oh... NOW I get what all this eyearm stuff is abaut. It weas just an example because somone mentined it, and at the time I seem to not have known english welll... Basicaly, I have really good imagination and can make myself semi-halucinate stuff I imagine throguth questionable use of phsycolgicall SCIENCE! Turns out making yourself halucinate is not good for mental helth.
On the other hand, [censured]!

So no, I dont actualy have eyearms, but I can trick my brain into thinking I do.

[Cthulhu]

That's called imagining things.  It's not special.

And you're already not well-liked around here, don't make it worse by calling us pathetic without providing your own (semi-comprehensible) view of the subject.

[zchris13]

This thread has gone to places...

Seiusly thou, vating is not very intresting. I'm all uploading.

Abaut the nicotin/sex: Thats just ineficent, if you're gona do that just skip the middleman and wirehead yourself.

You're thinking too hard.

Imagining t is only the first half. Basically, its the difference betwen waching a movie on your phone, and waching it in 3d on the cinema. It's still just the same movie, and still not quite as good as reality, but it feels more real.

[Cthulhu]

I can assure you everyone can imagine like that.

[zchris13]

@Armok:  You're delusional.  Like that Timecube guy, only not batshit insane, just a little bit in the wrong direction.  I recommend building things.  Like railguns.  (AWESOME)

@Cthulhu: GODDAMN NINJA-KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN.

I'd be more inclined to take you seriously if you hadn't just misspelled literally 33% of of the words in that sentence.

No E are eternal, U are about 60-120 years.

What about L?

[The Doctor]

[Nilocy]

I can imagine pretty well. I mean, you have your 3D cinema, but compared to me, its like a 3D cinema and REAL LIFE. HAHAHAHA.

Lions, leopards, giant lions and giant leopards.
