Do clones have souls?
Do clones have souls?
What if they cloned a cute and funny gf to keep you company
yeah.
beginning from an inference that the occupation of a "soul" is derived from the divinity of man is foolish. if souls are assumed based on the biological machinations of the brain and a clone is granted the same unique complexity of sensory experience and neural growth as an "original" human
No. Most humans these days don't have souls either.
Yes but not yours.
Sam god damn Rockwell. My waifu
Yes. Consciousness and by extension 'souls' are a vast ocean of a quantum field, and the brain simply houses a fraction of this field.
You will cease to exist for all eternity when your brain dies.
None of us have souls, you are a flesh machine.
This game really made me wonder the same
Then I’d be happy.
dark
Appearance my waifu dies a lot of Annapolis Sasoffras type comedy
Sam$!??
fantastic game and an example of games that could never be done justice in the form of a movie
A clone is just an identical twin so yes.
I did not care for Soma. It insists upon itself.
Some youtubers tried though
every second Black Mirror episode
"a perfect simulation of a person IS that person"
i have a hard time buying into this, go make deepfake pornography of someone. then torture a robot that screams perfectly in their voice. you can also do whatever you like in your imagination.
sorry Charlie Brooker i just don't agree. so this isn't dark and shocking. i'd love it if serial killers went into Holodecks then left people alone in the real world. that'd be great tbqh.
You live on this Earth for 80 years and thats it
Seriously this scares the shit out of me
be honest
would you?
Why? You were non-existent for billions of years. You just go back to that. This blink of existence is the anomaly.
No. Also I'm from Buenos Aires and I'll tell you what you should do with them all.
To be fair "we" cease to exist from moment to moment. We are only connected to our future and former selves thru prediction and memory, respectively. The closer we are in time to these other versions of ourselves the more connected we are but it is still someone else. Therefore, if you were cloned, neither you nor the clone would be the person the "was" before the cloning. You would be just now be present versions of your past self.
I'm a member of the church of last thursdayism no billions of years required they just fake your memories
non-religious
take DMT
glimpse of something 'beyond'
now 'this is just a cosmic blip' feels like the bizarre schizo conspiracy theory
(it's just so arbitrary and restrictive, homo sapiens, on Earth, in material space?)
honestly, i hate this. i want to go back. i was not prepared and it's terrifying. i want to think this is all there is, when my brain functions cease it's absolutely nothing because we're just meat-machines capable of thought and perception. r-right? that's all it is, haha.
unless there's something beyond the arrangement of atoms that we simply can't perceive. hell, imagine telling scientists 100 years ago some of the shit they all just accept now.
yes, all of existence, including you and your memories, could have sprung into being ten minutes ago. how would you know? everything would be 1:1 identical. it would take some form of 'higher' self 'outside' this reality for it to even matter.
how do i delete my memories, Anon Babble? electroshock? lobotomy?
Darling, you have not idea about dark and scary.
If the universe exists for long enough, you could exist again, maybe as a Boltzmann Brain, maybe an infinite number of times.
You're not even gonna wait until... I die?
Honestly The Sixth Day has some surprisingly nuanced and dark ideas about the nature of cloning that I think get missed because it's in an early 2000s action movie. It made me realise that clones are NOT the same people as the ones they were cloned from. So whether that means they have a soul also creates questions about how that soul comes about.
yes that's what it is. we evolved for religion, spirituality lights up otherwise unusued parts of our brain. it's a trait that was good for tribal life, that's it. that's why every single culture ever has gods. drugs overload it.
why would it be the same? this is fun poppy thought experiment stuff, but there's no reason for it.
samsara suggests there's something cyclical going on but it doesn't literally mean you are reborn on this particular rock, maybe this time it's the Middle Ages or you're a horse or something. just do well by yourself and others. hopefully even a Judeo-Christian style god would understand.
yeah i'm fine with the idea that some primitive cavemen just looked at the sun and decided,
what that? me make tool. me woman-friend make child. who make shiny ball? must be someone.
i'll do stupid superstitious shit that has no rhyme or reason to it, just a silly quirk of the human brain. we're irrational, although sometimes there's a roundabout 'system' to our irrationality. there are general patterns.
but i think organised religion as it stands today comes from drugs or some other way of peeking 'outside' a bit, not the other way around. some people can handle that, but it's fucked me up. genuinely, not even suicide would bring it to a close. i want to believe this 'tiny blip' is all there is, again. aaaaa
I'm going to kill you now, and use your syncording from before you wrote that post, and it will be as if you never even wrote it.
You know what. I think you should post from a different IP, while still posting from this one.
No.
He died in 2015 during the brain scan.
Dumb redditor.
A game only liked by those who are dumber than the brain damaged retard of a protagonist.
I mean beyond appreciating the basic Idea, this game is ltrl shit.
this movie hinted that they might, or at least share some morals and honor
*tips menorah*
Rico's roughnecks
I'm sorry! It's just that the media is not allowed to mention the day after the 9th.
Actually this irrational fear is the reason all religions exist. People cant comprehend that theres nothing after they die. They are scared of this and want something to be after death.
How come Judaism has no afterlife?
Doesn't it end with the company being sued so it seems the government agreed they're also people
walking simulator trash, kill yourselves
Souls are a Jewish invention
