No, this is what hard runs looks like.

"The spark that lit this particular cigar was an action by Hamas, the kidnapping and immolation of three Israeli teenagers."
When, exactly, did America go to war for Christianity? No abstract bullshit allowed.
Whatever, Google "teleporter philosophy" and you'll realize that it isn't nearly as cut and dried as you seem to think it is.
Exactly. That perspective died, another was created. They are not the same. Goodbye.
So why does the act of destroying the original you at the time of teleportation result in the original you and the recreated you being the same perspective (as per your blinking and reappearing example)?

"As for your straw-man "double clones" they'd both be you, for a short moment, but they'd branch off into two unique alternate versions of you, molded by their life experiences just like anybody else."
Exactly. People are hypocrites and always will be hypocrites, and until we all "come down with" aspergers or upload our minds into computers, people will also be slaves to their "feels".
"If I decided to use my art and create say...A kids book where I would draw your little girl into the story, so she can see that little girls can do what little boys do, and be scientists, etc, etc. I bet if I could spin it right on social media, I could find a following of feminists that would jump at this…
"I could be rich too if I pandered to those damned feminists"
