Our not wanting to die is a bit of irrational behavior selected for by evolution. The universe doesn’t care if you’re there or not. The contrasting idea that you are the universe is mystical, not rational.
Preferences are not rational or rational etc.
The idea that you are alive “now” but will be dead “later” is irrational. Time is just a persistent illusion according to relativistic physics. You are alive and dead, period.
I want the me-aliveness part to be as large as possible. That timeless crystal should contain as much actions and thoughts of “me” as possible.
A cyber-replica is not you. If one were made and stood next to you, you would still not consent to be shot.
Yes I would.
Ditto a meat replica
Ditto I would.
If you believe the many worlds model of quantum physics is true (Eliezer does), then there already are a vitually infinite number of replicas of you already, so why bother making another one?
Same answer as to the relativity one, I care about my measure.

This seems inconsistant with your other answers that you care about increasing your measure / instantiation in the block universe. The idea that you should consent to die because you have a replica is a fake bullet that you don’t need to bite, you like having more copies of yourself.
The point of numbering is to assign a unique, easily-generated identifier for each subsection of the text, and your comment is written in a way that uses numbering but defeats that purpose.
The apparently strange numbering is a result of quirky auto formatting that expects items in a numbered list not to be seperated by other paragraphs, not of how user:Armok_GoB intended the comment to look.
Are there users that cannot see comments they have submitted? Or cannot edit them? Or cannot make numbers appear except through the markup system used for comments on this internet website? Is User:Armok_GoB a User of at least one of these types?

I probably implicitly assumed the question was if I’d object to it more than some random item I own that’d be equally expensive to replace.

Yes, although the problem causing this inability resides in the parts of the system residing downstream from the screen.
