On the semantics again, ignoring the obvious context and common meaning of the term. Nobody talking about processed food means a salted egg. It's used to refer to overly - processed foods, such as McDonald's or chicken nuggets, etc.

Not meaningfuly so in this context, no. Processed foods usually refer to food that has sugar, salt or fat added. The guy is also clearly talking in context of bad processed food too, it goes unmentioned.

Philosophically, yeah kinda. It also looks like technology is headed that way. The big issue is the end of the universe, but assuming we make it that long we may be satisfied with that, or we may have a way to cross into another dimension. We don't even know if the universe will end yet, so that's all too early for anyone to say.

What I want to give you guys is a nice solution to the stargate problem. The problem, if you haven't heard, is about how when you step through a stargate/teleporter and get picked apart, then reassembled on the other side, did you really survive? Are you just your atoms in a certain order, or are you also the cloud of electricity in your brain? I believe in the electricity being what meaningfully makes you concious. So to be transfered into any new body or device, it would have to happen without being ran through a blender. The solution is to in some way attach your brain to a another brain or brain-like thing, then with time let it become part of you, and later in time you begin phasing out parts of your original brain, leaving only the new brain/device. This way we have transfered consciousness without abrupt ends to it.

Sorry for the schizo vibes, I just didn't want to put so much effort into the post so I wrote it in one go.
