Do you think that preserving my brain after the fact makes falling from a really high place any less unpleasant? Or are you appealing to my emotions (fear of death)?
Sorry for being snarky. I am sincere. I really do think that death is not such a big deal. It sucks, but it sucks only because of the negative sensations it causes in those left behind. All that said, I don’t think you gave me anything but an appeal to emotion.
It’s different. The fact that I feel bad when confronted with my own mortality doesn’t mean that mortality is bad. The fact that I feel bad when so confronted does mean that the feeling is bad.

Don’t feed the troll.

Arguing we should seek pleasurable experiences is also an appeal to emotion.

I’m curious. What is your position on wireheading?
