Reddit thread "iWillLiveForever" on the subreddit r/ProgrammerHumor explores the philosophical implications of consciousness transfer and copying. The discussion centers around the idea of whether a perfect copy of a person's consciousness would be the same as the original. Many users draw parallels between the transfer of consciousness and the copying of data in computer programming, using concepts like "pass by reference" and "move operations" to illustrate their point. The thread also references popular science fiction works like "Star Trek" and "SOMA" to further explore the ethical and existential questions surrounding consciousness transfer and the nature of identity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reddit-deepdive--6339456/support).
