Nah, I'm dumb sometimes. If I always thought I was smart I'd never learn anything and would be much dumber.

Nah, you are smart, Lucem. Smart people always want to learn.

Have you seen my hair though? That's the real reason Batlord doesn't want to believe in free will. He doesn't want to believe someone would actually choose to look like that.

It's not Batty's fault, he was predetermined to not believe in free will ages ago when Sisyphus originally faltered in carrying the rock up the mountain - as Sisyphus erred (as determined by the Gods), and the rock was set into motion, so too were our fates and destinies, neatly packaged, wrapped up, and sealed - but without a bow.

No. It's the people that called me stupid which would be people like you or elph or hawk etc., the average circle jerk of folks, just don't seem to be much smarter than me. While the smarter people, or at least the people that I hold up in that regard, think I'm smart or at least not stupid.

It's not a superiority thing. I don't think I'm super smart. I just don't think you have an intelligence level for me to take seriously in that regard especially when you literally just talk **** to project your own insecurities on me. Even if somebody who I do think is extremely intelligent calls me dumb, like Frown or Marie, then I can't disagree I am kind of dumb sometimes. I'm white trash, of course I'm dumb. But you're also stupid as ****. Much much stupider than you're willing to acknowledge. I'm just more comfortable with who I am than I was back then I guess. Well, I am on medication.

How are you going to scrutinize me for having a superiority complex anyways even if I did have one? Do you just totally lack the self awareness to get the irony or did me and Frown making fun of you legit make you feel inferior?

I don't think you're stupid but it's just super easy to trigger you and I can't help myself.

So you're mad it doesn't work anymore?

[Lucem Ferre]

Because you're always developing. Next.

Is every component that makes up the brain replaced by the time you die?

It pretty clearly worked, son. You wrote mad salty paragraphs.

something doesn't add up here big time

is it possible that an exact replica of our conciousness could function as a continuation of ones life?

because intuitively I want to say no, but logically what would be the difference between how it happens now

I guess so long as the electrical and chemical impulses making up your thought processes stay continuous you're as good as you can be. Uploading your brain patterns to a computer or a clone is clearly a copy and not a continuation. Teleportation is just cloning with extra steps. I'd be more worried about falling asleep. Your brain doesn't stop but is that really you waking up?
