They aren't my truths, they're mathatematical truths like "1 + 1 = 2" or "P -> Q; Q - > R; P - R". Any discussion about philosophy, for example this thread always talks about these kinds of certain truths, which just as much contributed to the "glorious Industrial and Technological Modern Society", and in the end, layer the foundation, seeing that mathematics is the language of newtonian and post-newtonian physics.
But you perceive (be it an illusion, but I think I made this point more than obvious) them, and maybe this might just be another stupid misunderstanding, but that's exactly what a subject is. It's not that this exists as a separate thing independently of everything else. For example, how would you totally objectively, describe a ball. No arbitrary variables, no axiomatic assumptions, no perception. What is a ball in itself, just the ball, and nothing else, independent of everything around it? I don't know, I don't think it exists. But maybe you know better.
Again, quote me, it's probably a misunderstanding, since I fundamentally disagree with it, as I believe I've more than clearly shown.
Same issue as above
But to be alive, or not, is not objective. Again, give me a objective physical formula of life - it doesn't exist. Biology is a abstraction, that introduces this notion. Anything below it, ie. Physics, Chemistry doesn't deal with it, has no notion of it, yet you assume it to be objective.
So I wasn't really convinced by this argument for efficiency, but maybe that was just me…
There is no reason for me to kill myself, since in contrast to you I enjoy my life, the illusion that it might be, and as any normal human being, I have a perception of a self, that doesn't want to die. No reason for it, I totally admit it, and "fear" of death, is merely the why this "programmed imperative" shows itself to me, whatever I might be. Also, I wouldn't say data loss, but more of a attempt for genes to reproduce themselves, since that's the driving force of evolution, not "ideas" or "data".
And being a robot would give more sense? I claim it would only take away the illusion, not add anything new. But since you don't seem to have this illusion in the first place, it's the same to you.
As explained above, no contradiction.
Ok, than make robots that reproduce themselves, by mining asteroids or something, and fly around for no reason. No need to put your "self" on a robot. Could just as easily make an AI. But still, why? Seeing that the destruction is 99.9999% inevitable, and no other being will probably be able to make any use of it, why do it in the first place. Maybe chill a bit, and just be a god dam human for once ^^
Also, why would you but on the USB stick? Something like the Voyager missions, just more? Or something completely different?
