I'm pretty sure the replicator won't make alcohol at all OP, so that's the real problem there.

flick my Mr. Bean posted:This is one of the two reasons I won't use teleporters. There's no difference between using a transporter and someone assembling a clone of you from atoms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdxucpPq6Lc Psycho Society posted:I'm pretty sure all the transporter does is take an image of your molecular state and recreates it somewhere else. I don't think there's any reason why they couldn't make a bunch of copies of someone or bring them back to life using an old 'save' except that it would weird people out. This was the big finale of the awful 9/11 truther Star Trek movie, and it always seemed super bizarre to me that it didn't raise horrifying psychological questions for the whole crew. If Kirk was loving dead, and they replicated a Kirk that is not loving dead, isn't that a pretty huge flashing red alarm message that the transporter is killing and assembling clones all the time?

I actually kinda want a Star Trek spinoff series that takes place on some rimworld or something and focuses on dudes who refuse to join Starfleet because transporters are glittery suicide booths from Futurama.Elukka posted:The last time I had an internet philosophy discussion about this I basically came to the conclusion that while yes a transporter will kill you and create another you it doesn't matter because any continuance of being is probably an illusion anyway and your normal existence from moment to moment is probably an equivalent case. I disagree so strongly with this but it's almost an impossible argument to counter sanely. Still, I'm going to try: you can make the argument that the "me" that wakes up tomorrow is different than the "me" I am now, but sleep isn't death - I can remember my dreams, I can get up in the middle of the night to take a piss, whatever. Not only that, but I can recall likely triggers from the day that inform and shape my dreams. Ergo it's the same consciousness.

Universe Master posted:You lose whole atoms all the time, that are then replaced. You lose cells that are replaced. Your thoughts and mind changes all the time. Do you identify as the same person as five year old you? He was made up of totally different stuff and had totally different thoughts. And you don't think that ripping all of your atoms apart and then reconstructing them somewhere else from different atoms might constitute a break in that continuity?
