I am not claiming that there is proof or even evidence that you have already
been uploaded, in fact I am claiming the very opposite. There is no proof
and never will be any because it doesn't make the slightest subjective
difference if it has happened or not so you will never be able to devise an
experiment to make the differentiation. There is no reason to think it has
happened, there is no reason to think it has not happened, and there is no
reason to give a damn.
