By "this consciousness stream," I meant the thing that you make copies of,
not the whole copy system. "This consciousness stream" is the object the
whole set of which constitutes me. (Though, at present, that set is a
singleton.) "This consciousness stream" is whatever would be terminated
while the copy lived on.
I DO take it as an intrinsic end to preserve the copy system, because
that's me, though not any individual in the copy system, because those are
unimportant.
