Scientists upload worm consciousness to robot

Imagine if you could transfer your mind to a superior substrate and expand to higher levels of consciousness.

What kind of consciousness does a worm have?

a very simple one.

No shit. But what is it aware of? Does it ever think about other worms or animals and see them as equal? Are they all part of the environment to it, like trees? Does it ever think of the future progress of his tunnel or is it just absorbing nutrients? Does it have other worm friends?

If you do this you're dooming your copy to eternal hell.

not possible, you can't transfer consciousness that's not how motion works

You transfer your consciousness to different atoms every second of your existence. The self is an ever changing wave of causality not a physical thing. If you were transfer your mind one neuron at a time you wouldn't notice it. Have a nanobot copy a neuron then simulate it and replace the connection and you will then start using the simulated neuron instead of your original one. Logically and physically there is no difference.

Hell is not eternal. If it exists it is most certainly impermanent like every other type of suffering.

i am having a hard time following this, considering the ever-changing nature of all things, let's assume we are able of such highly detailed fine mapping and replication, wouldn't our synthetic replica be in accordance to the original until the replacement point? at that specific point in timeframe the original and synthetic neurons would both diverge in their own paths otherwise perfect overlapping with scripted self-assembly (i,e. both neurons behaving similarly regardless of their spatial properties) is possible

People are so desperate to stay alive. Being dead is better imo.
