To simplify my own views: Morphs, while replacable, are not trivial losses. Especially beyond the more common models. So should be defended much as pre-fall humanity would have defended valuable property. In certain scenarios, more so, as loss of morphs while say fighting TITAN constructs could lead to Ego loss also. The ego is crucial. I have no interest in sacrificing my ego for any cause. That said, mine is of course backed up. And I would likely choose ego death over certain select fates. Habitat space is limited and is resource-intensive to replace. Protect with vigour. Memes that have lasted any length of time are resilient, having been winnowed through darwinian selection. But they still require protection. The most noble ideals can perish if all their believers are slain with their egos lost. I do not advocate mindless violence. Transhumanity has lost enough through stupidity.
