The Trouble With Uploading

The Trouble With Uploading

 

 

 

The trouble with uploading your mind into a computer (or into a clone, or whatever) is that the qualia get swapped around. Your experience of blue, red and green in your new body might not be the same as in your old. Ditto with the tastes; sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami get shuffled. High vs. low pitches might reverse.

 

You get used to it, eventually, but it’s never the same.
