Hey, twits, how do you explain this?

You've ridden this "conscious" thing into the ground and the only thing you've proven is your scientific illiteracy. Time to move on.

They are deluded and think this will offer people a chance at immortality. Wouldn't you want that?
Yes, if this were possible (and it almost certainly isn't possible) the person and the robot would have exactly the same personality, thoughts, etc.
Because people have different genes, different development in the womb, and different environments. No one should have to explain something so fucking obvious to another human being, but you take the cake for sheer ignorance.

Do try to work on your reading and comprehension skills.  The answer is in faustus's post: "different development in the womb".  I suppose you think that identical twins have identical fingerprints, but they do not, for the same reason.

By the way, the name calling insults really add substance to your arguments.

What Cham said, plus the fact that they don't just experience differences in the womb, but differences in their life experiences as time goes on. All of these factors shape their brains in different ways and produce differences in personalities and responses to more life events.
These issues are all interconnected in a big Venn diagram. None of them, or at least few of them, exist in isolation.

Faustus is king of incoherent babbling. 

Okay, we need to put precise definitions on the terms here. Faustus likes to interchange terms with different definitions, as do the other uneducated buffoons here, and then they trick more intelligent posters like Hey into accepting those terms interchanged.

Brain-we know what that is, because it's an organ.

Mind-In my schooling, this was a synonym for brain. If anyone has it different, let it be known now.

Self-awareness-This is not really defined in one way around the world. Some take it to mean the "meter reader" of the brain. Some take it to mean a program that can be instilled into a computer where the computer can clean itself of debris and problems and errors. Until there is a total agreement, this is a useless term, and the materialists of this board continually change its meaning back and forth to suit their design. That's like saying "Orange is a tasty fruit", then "orange is a loud color", then "a tasty fruit is a loud color". 

Consciousness-same trouble.

Cognition-back in my day in the school of the seventies, this was applied to the "meter reader", but the materialists desperately needed to change it to serve their confusion in thought and provide them with justification to avoid logic by continually changing the definition of a term.

I just refer to the soul or spirit as the "meter reader". 

Now, we know that the "meter reader" is not based on DNA or on "material" because of identical twins. That is a scientific fact. Disputing that would make someone a moron, a toothless high school dropout. A completely delusional idiot. Sadly, we have such people on this board.

Materialists then have to resort to "energy" or "process", but there are logical complications here. First and foremost, whatever bit of energy is supposed to be the meter reader has to be conserved and trapped for a lifetime in the organism. And there are other organisms in the body. We're still left with "magic" or the "supernatural" to explain why. Whether it's organic magic, or not organic. Whether a computer can possess a "meter reading entity" or whether only organic compounds can do it, in the end, it's still "Magic" one way or the other. Just as the law of motion is "Magic". It isn't chaos. It's there. It's a rule. Rules don't write themselves. Only a moron thinks a rule writes itself with no "cognitive entity" or "meter reader" designing it.

So, Faustus can babble incoherently all day long, and his fan club of Beavis and Butthead can guffaw and agree in their wishful thinking, but it doesn't change reality. Faustus and his mob are too afraid of reality and afraid of the search for truth to ever stop being stuck in their fantasy world. It's useless to speak to them. They're trolls, no different than meth heads who revel in their own ignorance. They like to use big words and "babble incoherently" to confuse the issue, but they fool only the feeblest minds.

No offense.

Here is my edit: I refer to the "process" earlier. Now, there is the theory that the former poster OUR GLORIOUS LEADER liked, that we do change, and we're not the same "meter reader" as we change, but we don't realize this simply because the new "meter reader" or "soul" inherits the memory of the old one. 

That sounds science fiction, but it's the only possible way materialism can work. There is no other way. If someone holds on to materialism in this way, then the person at least uses the only logic possible. 

This is a great tactic for anyone who is ever in a dangerous occupation, or is a spy, or being tortured. One can always believe that he or she is only experiencing the torture for a second till a new "soul" or "meter reader" acquires the sensations. Materialism is a great propaganda bit for people who need to use naïve students to control. Be aware that this has been going on for some time. Preaching materialism is the perfect system for a control freak, if he can get it to work.
