    I feel we’ll figure out teleportation before anti gravity, which is to say probably never.

      Teleportation seems theoretically feasible. Record the position of the cells and state of various neurotransmitter chemicals, throw the body in a wood chipper, transmit the data, 3d print new body at new location.

        And I would be one of the few people who wouldn’t go on vacation and would have to refuse must jobs because of some absurd believe that even if a copy of me is made after I’m dead, that’s irrelevant for me since that’s still not me and I don’t want to die.

        Or maybe I would take the teleporter as an alternative to suicide, and whoever would take on my life wasn’t me, so my problems where their now.

          In effect you die every night when you lose consciousness. While unconscious, your brain stores long term memories and that rewires your mind slightly. Some things are discarded. You wake up a different person.

        I would not want to be involved in working the bugs out of that. Even after they get it to the point where it almost never produces two-headed mice in testing.
