Descartes & San Junipero: Mind & Body

Cogito, Ergo Sum: Descartes separates mind and body. San Junipero presents a digital afterlife, reinforcing the idea that consciousness can exist without a physical form.

Reality & Doubt: Descartes questions whether we can trust our senses. In Black Mirror, virtual existence blurs the line between real and simulated life.

The Digital Soul: If the self exists independently of the body, does uploading a consciousness preserve identity? San Junipero challenges Descartes’ dualism.
