T-Rex: I am on the record as being an EXTREMELY cool guy who is extremely NOT cool with the fact that his mind is something physical!
T-Rex: Destroy the brain... and you destroy ME!
T-Rex: But I don't really have any alternatives! Even if I could upload my brain to a computer, you know how often computers fail? Pretty often!
Dromiceiomimus: What about uploading it to the cloud?
T-Rex: That's just a bunch of strange computers that now I'm renting instead of owning!!
Utahraptor: Yeah, but it can incorporate multiple redundant backups.
T-Rex: Even if it works, it still sucks!
T-Rex: Both meat and silicon can still be altered at the hardware level. I like to think I have some ineffable self, but I don't! Anything I am can be TRIVIALLY changed by altering the machinery it runs on. And that's why I'll NEVER go in for any recreational mind altering substances or surgeries!

Off panel: This chip stops you from remembering every stupid thing you've ever said, but only from 3am to 7am, so you'll never lie in bed thinking about what an idiot you are ever again.
T-Rex: Excuse me, ma'am?
T-Rex: SIGN ME THE HECK UUUUUUUP
