There are two kinds of people: those who arbitrarily do not care at all about the 'problem' of a copy not really being you and those who arbitrarily intensely care and wish to point out the obvious 'problem' of a copy not really being you.
If Star Trek teleporters are ever invented, the first kind will sell their cars and teleport everywhere. The second kind will never use them and consider their use to be serial suicide.

>You, the current you, the only you that matters, would be dead
Slow down there.

>You, the current you ... would be dead
I agree.

>You, the current you, the only you that matters
If I was destroyed atom by atom and a new perfect copy was made somewhere else, that copy would be the only 'me' that matters. The copy would agree with this statement. I'm fine with my consciousness surviving in a flawless copy if that is the price to pay for brain uploading or teleportation.

Just for a bit of humor, pic related.

Since that thread went back on the subject, I sage this post.

You still don't address the inherent problem to information control : how to keep Alien from hacking it.

And again : How do you keep them from killing you in a stupid accident, sabotage from the human that hate you next door, genocide from those Space Nazi that consider you as impure than Alien (if you aren't accused of being Half-Alien). But in case you would accept that as natural selection : if the people of a planet think other will turn against them with the same paranoia you have, they'll just turn the Berserker against other.

You don't realize you are pursuing mutually exclusive goal : Perfect Kill as fast as possible, and Perfect Control.
You are also trying to have the list of potential enemy as inclusive as possible while keeping it's definition the further away from us.

The best weapon can't be stopped once launched -> the best weapon only target enemy -> The less you are different from something the weapon won't attack (another berserker) the better it is.

Result : The only way to achieve all this is to turn yourself into a Berserker.

You clearly didn't studied history.

BTW : I'm not even playing "Peace and Love with the Alien", I am really just saying this is a stupid extermination method.

A Software Engineer, a Hardware Engineer and a Departmental Manager were on their way to a meeting. They were driving down a steep mountain road when suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened almost out of control down the road, bouncing off the crash barriers, until it miraculously ground to a halt scraping along the mountainside. The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, now had a problem: they were stuck halfway down a mountain in a car with no brakes. What were they to do?

"I know," said the Departmental Manager, "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals, and by a process of Continuous Improvement find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we can be on our way."

"No, no," said the Hardware Engineer, "That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we can be on our way."

"Well," said the Software Engineer, "Before we do anything, I think we should push the car back up the road and see if it happens again."

good one
