Y'know, I do grasp the argument about the "transporter paradox" in the brain uploading thing
>you're just killing somebody and then creating a robot that thinks it's them
But the strongest argument that they're NOT doing that, that the show just operates on sheer magical thinking, is that the Lost Boys are guinea pigs; that they're beta testing the brain transfer machine on terminally ill children with the intent that once it works 100% all of the billionaires will use it to become immortal

The billionaires aren't going to line up to kill themselves
