Dustin Bates biography

If you had to completely scan a person, get the entire atomic structure, and then print it with ideal accuracy: the atom to the atom, that is, to create its exact atomic mirror reflection - a copy at the atomic level that is literally different from the original by a single atom, would these two subjects be connected with each other unified consciousness?

And I like the answer more than not, because if you write in this context, then everything acquires a special Stephen-King atmosphere. But if you look at everything from a scientific point of view, then the answer will be negative: the original would have consciousness, and a copy would have consciousness, in fact, the same consciousness, because both of them are the same, but they would not be connected to each other.

From the very beginning, immediately, they would share the same memories, the experience of the past, and at the same time they would be unique, different. They would begin to move in different directions relative to the starting point. But before their environment, the external environment would be different, and, therefore, have a different influence on them, before that, a short period of time they would be so identical in their thinking that it would really look like telepathy.

And this is one of the reasons why the video on Telepathic looks that way. From this experiment you can pull out a lot of interesting things, but in general, it seems to me that we just have a certain group of cells that are the center of consciousness, and that even if we can create something similar to the brain and load it into computers, then there will be no consciousness there - the same initial consciousness.

If you want to live forever, then it is not enough just to load the semblance of your brains into the computer. It is necessary to somehow integrate into the system and these magic cells. This is an interesting and at the same time very simple way to portray the current state of affairs in the world. Given everything that is happening now with our geopolitical climate, it seems at least I really want to hope that the short story appears just at the right time.

Was it one of your goals? Turn to society, as a whole, through it? I remember the moment when this metaphor came to my mind-I literally jumped out of bed-it was about 4 in the morning. I'm glad you liked her. I think that some will seem to some an attack on capitalism and all other derivatives of socialism, but this, definitely, is not so. This is just an overview of capitalism, a look at it, and the recognition that both of its ends - both the initial and the final - have shortcomings.

And that he stops working at the moments when he reaches these ends. In the middle, he works just wonderful. This is really the best of all the systems that we have ever developed, but only in that middle part of its existence. As soon as she gets to the edges, the situation, as a rule, gets out of control, and in fact, when you play the game to the very end, it is very difficult to distinguish from feudalism.

The same is the same for Carnivore - everything happens there in, that is, a little earlier than sending. Is there a potential, the future of these stories?
