Ahh, but here's the question. Who are you? The you who did the upload, or the you that got uploaded, retaining the memories of everything you did before the upload? Go on, flip that coin.

If you are the version doing the upload, you're staying behind. The other "you" pops into existence feeling as if THEY are the original, so from their perspective, it's as if they won the coin flip.

But the original CANNOT win that coinflip...

But like.. do I care? "I" will survive, even if I'm not the one who does the surviving.
