Oh yes, I know. I just can't get a grip on specifically what he's talking about in that paragraph.
"Surely it would be difficult to believe that one’s self could simultaneously inhabit all the replicas of one’s physical body that are constructed at the destination site, ..."
What is this "one's self" that is having difficulty deciding which copy of the body to inhabit? He seems to be assuming some sort of dualistic notion of self.
"Thus, you cannot be the pattern of your neural activity, your emotions, your memories, your personality traits, or your present hopes and dreams."
How does this follow?
