I knew a rich kid (he wasn't really that rich just upper middle class and spoiled rotten really) and he was quite a selfish dick. Like he'd be cool most of the time... but then he'd do weird poo poo like he'd have his mom start bringing pizza on Fridays but not enough for all his friends so during the week everyone curried favor with him in order to get pizza. I went to his house once and he started SCREAMING at his mom because the sandwich he demanded from her still had the crusts on the bread and he refused to eat it at all even if she then cut the crusts off. She made a whole new sandwich. Must have been some really bad parenting for him to be like that by 6th/7th grade. Nobody told him no ever or he'd just throw a loving fit.

I sliced my finger open in the cafeteria real good in 7th grade. blood went everywhere. I will never forget watching all of my friends jump up to help me while my rich friend reflexively covered his lunch with his body, turned, and kept eating.

most people who had a "rich friend" really knew a kid whose parents were petit bourgeois.

Hear me out here - the rich do the most damage to people they barely know (and/or who work for them), them being nice to kids in their class doesn't mean jack.

Or a very confused one staring at the computer and asking why he’s still here. Lmao that you believe continuity of consciousness is real hope you don't need surgery anytime soon

What happens to your hard drive when you back it up? actually, in stark trek there is no continuity. it makes a copy and you get destroyed. as evidenced by the episode where there are two rikers thanks to a transporter glitch. altho it may be inconsistent about this i think it's canon. also imo how it would work irl.

What happens to your hard drive when you back it up? It's wrongheaded to assume there's a consistent "you" in the first place Are you the same you that fell asleep yesterday? Are you the same you from a second ago? This thought experiment goes in circles because the you that wakes up from the brain upload/biopsy/bed will just assume they've always been "you" in the first place People get in the Star trek transport because it's convenient the same way people go under general anesthesia because it reduces pain they aren't thinking existential questions during it

As time goes on I identify more with my unconscious mind as the real"me" the notion of your consciousness being you is a pretty recent development from the enlightenment

Dreddout posted:It's wrongheaded to assume there's a consistent "you" in the first place Epistemologically speaking, these sorts of questions are different from the kind you’d ask a set of identical twins, whether or not one was living inside a hard drive and the other staring quizzically outside of it. Like, if you make a copy of yourself and he walks away and you’re still standing there, you’re not him. He might be you, but not in any sense that would prevent you from wanting to get your money back from the immortality salesman.

Any "feasible" uploading will require the brain to be destroyed during the process so it's not a question of having a copy That also means it's not going to stop anyone from having their brain chopped up and uploaded. For their uploaded self would have gotten what they payed for and not spent a second thought to the bloody gray matter being swept into a biohazard bag H.P.

To their credit some shows basically do this, willing to throw money around for status symbols but not necessarily secure I think Daria basically implied Lawndale was a pretty upscale area since most everyone lived in big houses, and social class actually is acknowledged in the finale movie where everyone's looking into colleges or whatever they're going to do after graduation. (and Daria's late season boyfriend is from old money and notably DOESN'T go to her school)
