"I think, therefore I am"
You're god damn rights that Wesker is still alive! That crazy bitch is one tough cookie. Transferring her consciousness like that? It's kind of OP to be honest xD
As someone who took university level philosophy... one of the biggest debates in philosophy on this matter is if you transfer your consciousness and/or copy it. Are you still YOU? Are you a split person until your original body dies and then whole again after wards. Are not just your memories transferred but you will experience yourself no different than you did before? Meaning you are 100% you and you are!
"Cogito ergo sum"
""x" thinks
I am that "x"
Therefore I think
Therefore I am"
The problem is this is also a matter of debate in Rev 2 and the developers keep flip-flopping.... ughh! They NEED to make up their mind so fans can stfu! If it's from a philosophical point a few and is indeed Cogito ergo sum... then yes the original Alex and Alex within Natalia are one and the same and she is "immortal" in her eyes.
"… this proposition: I am, I exist, whenever it is uttered from me, or conceived by the mind, necessarily is true"
"But if life itself is good and pleasant (...) and if one who sees is conscious that he sees, one who hears that he hears, one who walks that he walks and similarly for all the other human activities there is a faculty that is conscious of their exercise, so that whenever we perceive, we are conscious that we perceive, and whenever we think, we are conscious that we think, and to be conscious that we are perceiving or thinking is to be conscious that we exist..."
For a entry in the series that is so heavily base on philosophy.... one can't help but wonder. I'm kind of natural on the debate but if you want to get really technical on this.... Alex is still Alex no matter what perspective you put it in. She is and therefore she is. Anyone confused by this.... imagine cloning your soul and you experiencing both... very confusing and no that is not the literal way to take. Just a way to kind of perceive the matter.
