npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) I don't think mind-body dualism or lack thereof really affects whether mind uploading is bunk, which it is.
The mind is a separate entity from the matter of the brain. While that means a transfer might be possible in principle, any science/tech-based method can only operate on matter, and thus can't touch the actual mind.
The mind is an emergent property of the brain. It has no existence of its own, so there's nothing for your machine to move from the brain to the computer.
