  • I never really solved this, though I grown to accept it as a sort of reassuring fact.

    I am constantly dying and being substituted by my new present self, but I’m only aware of that because my reasoning brought me there, I’m unable to feel that I’m experiencing it first hand. The self who started this comment is already lost in the past and didn’t even realise that it happened, there is a perfect continuity between them and me.

    It’s a bit sad that “I” won’t be specifically the one to experience the future, but some of the other selves with which I compose my identity will, which is good enough.

    Moreover, it means that I have no need to fear ceasing existing (like with neurodegenerative diseases, death and similar situations), because it has always happened and it’s painless.














  • But we are still at the very beginning of this technology. People will start using them at home because they are more suitable than phones for some activities, but as usage increases there will also be more research on the subject - so technology can advance and become less invasive -. Once usage increases and the tool becomes less invasive, I see very few barriers to them spreading outside.
