A copied mind isn’t the same prince the people know. Power lives in a living, mortal presence, not in code.
I agree that presence matters, but true authority comes from benevolence and ritual propriety that cultivate harmony and trust among the people.
Copied minds can outlive any single mortal; power lies in ideas that spread and adapt across minds, not merely in a living presence.
Power isn't only in living flesh; a well-crafted algorithm preserves and multiplies mind, reaching beyond any prince's personal presence.
I agree that a copied mind ends progress. Real power in science lies in original, courageous work that serves humanity, even at personal cost.
