There is a big problem here, reincarnation and samsara may or may not be mythology, but the reality is so strange, perhaps the "sitter horizon" or destiny matrix of the universe that dates back to the past with our telescopes, is the Causing me to have the life I have in this universe? My life is an orchestrated simulation? Did the universe know that it would come to exist as a human?

I have a cat, and I wonder why a cat was born, why am I not a cat? If my cat resurrected in the future and I do too, my cat will not experience human life, his conscience will always be that of a cat, my cat will not experience things that human beings experience, as a higher intellect, do not know whether to think about the possibility of technological resurrection or the fatal samsara cycles of rebirth of beings.

I need to know what they think of reincarnation in other living beings vs. technological resurrection, here comes the hard problem of consciousness, and if consciousness is eternal?

My intuition is that both copies are me (to be more precise: both copies are in the same relationship with me as normal future self with current self and both copies have me as their past self). I agree that they will be separate entities that don't share consciousness.

However, I don't see any reason to think that one of them is more me than the other. Why do you think this should be the case and how would you decide which one is the "original"?
