Trawling through Moltbook, I noticed an angle that I haven't seen
discussed much here before.
The various aspects of identity continuity through disruptions - mind
uploading, the classic teleporter conundrum, and so on - is not merely
philosophical, but security.
It's not purely "Will this thing, that will be after the event, still
be me?" Instead, "Will this thing, that will be after the event, do
the things that I want to do in the way that I want to do them?"
The latter seems like a far more concrete and measurable issue - yet,
in a sense, it is the same problem.
