MOVED TO PLUSH.CITYany mf who honestly thinks that uploading your mind into a computer will let you live forever has never had to restore a file from 12 years ago in a format that doesn't exist anymore
also: how do you even "upload" your mind? your consciousness is stored in physical form - neural pathways. even if you find a way to somehow transfer them into digital form, i am not sure that the copy of your brain will be the actual you with YOUR OWN consciousness, and not just an independent copy of you.
Dušan Mitrović@tillianisafox Also, let me say that the term "consciousness" is rather ill defined. Consciousness isn't a thing, an entity, or a property. Consciousness is a physical *process* brought about by the interaction of billions of neurons. So you can't talk about it in terms of "having", you must talk about it in terms of "being" or "happening".
