Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

just find that guy dr whatever your name is

assuming thats a no italy

How can you take the fun out the torture
The more pain I’m in, the more fun I’m having

honestly this is causing me to feel deattached from my situation so its sorta more reassuring

i guess he’s torturing that guy for information but without damaging his real body and my body gets the brunt of it. fuck that guy! why do i have to be the body donor!

Every time you wake up, it’s kind of like your conscience is replaced by someone new.

You could never tell if the past you is the real you.

he’s planning on and im not joking

erasing your memories
replacing your memroies with someone else
same body

maybe he’s just really mad at his ex

So i get the full pain treatment again and again? That’s sick

You’re Being Tortured In The Morning: Scenario 1

Right, that response makes sense. If you weren’t reassured by the knowledge that when the time comes for you to be tortured you’re not going to have any of your current memories, then it seems right you won’t be reassured just because you know you’re going to have somebody else’s thoughts and memories.


Statement 4

The mad professor now tells you that the new set of thoughts and impressions of your past will exactly match those of somebody who is currently alive, and in fact that they will be copied into your brain from the other person’s brain.

Are you reassured by this information?

Yes, I’m reassured
No, I’m not reassured

if he’s mad enough to set this up surely he can find his ex’s body

wrong one

Oh not memories though

You’re Being Tortured In The Morning: Scenario 2

Okay, so given your two previous responses that’s the expected answer: you were not reassured by the knowledge that when the time comes for you to be tortured, you’ll have somebody else’s thoughts and memories, so it is surely right that you remain fearful, since there doesn’t seem to be any reason to think that it’ll make a difference whose memories you will come to have or how they will come to be in your brain. We’ll have more to say about this later, but for now we’ll just note that you’ve ended up no less fearful of the prospect of being tortured than you were before Professor Coine explained to you exactly what he was going to be doing.

We’ll return to the mad professor in a little while, but right now we have a different scenario for you to think about. This one also involves torture, but happily this time you have more control over what’s going to happen to you.

restraining order

Two people, A and B, are about to undergo an odd experience. The thoughts and memories of Person A will be extracted from their brain, which will then be wiped clean so that all the information that was previously stored there is erased. The same thing is simultaneously happening to Person B. Then the memories and thoughts of Person A will be transmitted into the brain of the body that was formerly B’s, and the memories and thoughts of Person B will be transmitted into the brain of the body that was formerly A’s. This means we’ll now have Body-Person A with the thoughts and memories of B, and Body-Person B with the thoughts and memories of A.

You are the original person A (i.e., your thoughts and memories are going to end up in Body-Person B). After the experiment has been completed, one body-person will be given a million dollars, the other body-person will be tortured. You want to get the reward, and avoid the torture. You get to choose which body-person is to be rewarded (and by extension, which is to be tortured). So what’s it to be?

Remember: You were originally Person A. Your thoughts and memories now only exist inside Body-Person B.

Reward Body-Person A, Torture Body-Person B
Reward Body-Person B, Torture Body-Person A

My precious

do you think a torturer cares about that

wasn’t this a mechanic in lfol
