Neurons don't get replaced, they are fixed, our brain is plastic in the sense that it can recycle pre-existing neural structures. There are some studies suggesting we produce new neurons, but these could be highly specialised task based neurons and we don't have any degree of confidence to know what organisational structures create consciousness. But this is all besides the point, you cannot, using any material model of physics, justify a position that HOW you produce an object has any bearing on the structure of that object. If you can do it gradually there should be absolutely no reason why doing it all at once would be any different, the entire concept violates physicalism on a fundamental level. You are essentially arguing for a metaphysical concept of consciousness. Imagine you transfer your consciousness, ship of theseus style, to this digital computer, then I turn the computer and boot it back up. Will you be dead and a new you took over? If your answer is no, then consciousness is tied to the pattern and not some causal chain of events, which means you can resurrect yourself after death, in fact it means eventually a computer will spontaneously reproduce your consciousness (you could be in such a simulation right now) OR you can argue causality is integral, but then the problem is that at any given micro-second any given CPU is 'cycling' its instruction set, in other words digital consciousness has a refresh rate, it is periodically shutting down and turning back on very very quickly, why would this not essentially be breaking the causal chain and killing you? Ultimately the subjective quality of consciousness is impossible to empirically test, so the computer would absolutely affirm that it is you, but YOU would very much be 'dead'.

I know crypto is a somewhat good investment but what about standard businesses?

Right now I'm working as an electrician. No wife/gf, kids, living comfortably and earning just as well. I travel internationally twice a year just for fun. Tradeskills are wonderful. Currently looking in a second income stream tho.

What about you anons? What are your stories?
