As far as I can tell, quantum immortality requires that we are indeed "always dying" (nicely put, by the way) in order for us to *be*first-person immortal. And this is also implied by comp and "cosmological" immortality. Ironically, the one thing that would disprove this sort of immortality, it seems to me, is the existence of a soul, which would tie our identity to one location. ISTM the price you pay for quantum or other forms of immortality is "dying every second." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
