Staying Alive: Post-Mortem

Congratulations! You have survived!

You chose:
Round 1: I'll take a chance with the
spacecraft
Round 2: Let the virus do its worse
Round 3: Let my body die
However, although you have survived,
at least one of your choices seems a
little problematic.
There are basically three kinds of things that could be required
for the continued existence of your self. One is bodily
continuity, which may actually require only that parts of the
body stay in existence (i.e., the brain). Another is psychological
continuity, which requires the continuance of your
consciousness - by which is meant your thoughts, ideas,
memories, plans, beliefs, and so on. The third possibility is the
continued existence of some kind of immaterial part of you,
which might be called the soul. Of course, it may be the case
that a combination of one or more types of these continuity is
required for you to survive.
Your choices are consistent with the view that the continuity of
the soul is essential for personal survival. Your first two choices
showed a desire to keep your physical body alive. Yet your last
choice showed a willingness to jettison this physical body in
order to save your soul. So presumably, you only valued the
continued existence of your body because you thought it
housed the soul.

memories to exist. It is rather a kind of immaterial home for

thoughts, emotions, beliefs and so on. Do you really think the
self is such a thing?
