"There you go, man.
Keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the webs they weave."

I admit that discussions about uploading require analyses that
look like excercises in applied philosophy, but let's be a
little bit careful. We can end up wasting time on questions that
can be demonstrated to be unanswerable. Such questions are IMO
content-free, and are thereby in the same class with unfalsifiable
hypotheses.
