> I think this is a response to Yud’s teaching that a copy of you is really you
It's not so much a response as it is just running with it until you hit the concepts of the soul and the godhead face first.
edit: it's also mercifully short, like not even 3k words.

Although not by accident: Scott Alexander is a practicing Jew and *Unsong* is the kind of thing that someone interested in theology and Neo-Platonism writes. So I think he knows his friends are recapitulating Christianity, but if he backed away from them over that, they might back away from him reinventing social Darwinism and eugenics.
