Let's play a game.
We will try to deduce how aspects of fictional 'verses would play out in real life.
Humans are great at finding creative ways to use the tools already possessed and fiction doesn't do that justice by a longshot.
If followed through to their logical conclusions, you realise that these worlds have greater potential than shown.
For example certain systems of magic could be rigorously broken apart in order to create logical components that use mana instead of electricity. Magic computers!
Or when you can transfer your physical brain into a cyborg, you could also take someone else's brain, put it in a box that simulates a personal hell and give it a push into the blackness of space, to float..
That regenerating monster that is captured and used for food.
That portal gun that becomes a component of a perpetual motion machine and gives infinite energy.

Space triads who use it as a punishment worse than death for breaking the code of silence.

Oh whoops I misread. Thought you meant a mind-state, not the physical brain. Carry on.

You are talking about the [simulations of you are also you] idea?
For all his blunders trying to argue that we live in a universe where the unknowable does not exist as if the universe ows as meaning, I still like the guy. His posts on rationality are mostly helpful.
