Thanks for sharing this, Keith.  I think it'd be so great to be able to
track what people currently believe on things like this.

We've started a topic on this and so far 10 people have indicated how they
feel on this kind of stuff.

Topic: Value Uploading
<https://canonizer.com/topic/48-Value-Uploading/1-Agreement?is_tree_open=1>.

I'm in the "Phenomenal Uploading
<https://canonizer.com/topic/48-Value-Uploading/3-Phenomenal-Uploading>"
camp which is a supporting sub camp of the yes
<https://canonizer.com/topic/48-Value-Uploading/2-Yes> camp.


Keith, I think we will eventually get to what you are describing, but I
also think you are missing a few things which will be possible on the way
there.

Would you consider yourself a functionalist, like most people here, in that
things like subjective color quality experience can arise from any
simulation "functioning" the same?

And what do you imagine "going both ways" would be like?  How could this be
done?
