You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?

To fully understand my question, you need to understand the safety concerns regarding teleporters as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI

I wouldn’t, because the person that reappears aint me, its a fucking clone. Teleporters are murder machines. Star Trek is a silent massacre!

    Do I trust that an ephemeral pseudoscience concept of “teleporter technology” is safe to use…? No…? On what basis would anyone make that judgement.

      Yeah but what if the government tells you it’s safe and effective, and mandates transporters for all travel because it’s good for the environment?

      Are you willing to be branded a science denier?

      What if they give you free food and an Amazon gift card?
