look we all seem to understand consciousness is a process, not an object. SO taking that fact into consideration picture this:

there is a fire burning on a log. You suck the oxygen out of the atmosphere and the combustion reaction ceases. Then you put the same oxygen back into the atmosphere and the heat sets the log on fire again.

the first reaction ceased when the oxygen was removed and though the fire is burning the log in the exact same way it is a NEW reaction, not a resuming of the previous reaction.

thats how a teleporter would affect consciousness. By destroying the original and replacing it with something new.

I have an invite to spare to DuoLingo if anybody wants it. Just post your email.
