On this view,
Backups aren't any less original than the original.
This is a view articulated most prominently in nineteen eighty four by the philosopher Derek Parfitt.
But the view goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years.
It makes people less like the Moda Lisa and more like a copyable file.
It's the way we think of music, books, recipes, even ideas.
Anything whose survival doesn't depend on a particular thing existing in the world.
To get a person to survive, what we need is something.
Anything that encodes their memories, personality traits, ways of talking, ways of reacting emotionally.
A person's inner psychology.
We know the brain does it.
And does it well.
But the brain is a particular thing that exists in the world.
And its mortality is why we need AIs, if we want our loved ones to survive.
Yeah, so Perfect thinks that what we really care about is a person's inner life.
We want to know if that survives when their body dies.
We want to be with the inner life of a person when we're bonded to them.
Uh the reason other physical things people inherent aren't really the essence of a person is that they don't reflect
their inner life.
Like your mom's favorite book will remind you of her.
