Plottwist: consciousness is : Copy

It's pinned and !Unpin, and only has private constructors.

Uploading is a matter of implementing Clone

#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
struct Consciousness {...}

fn upload_brain(brain: Consciousness) -> Result<(), Error>

The semantics in Rust would be completely out of wack. What does ownership mean?

I guess the point of the joke is that consciousness is a shallow value.
