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.
Trip@tillianisafox Ethically, any copying process would need to be destructive to the original, to prevent abuse. Even if the copying process isn't intrinsically destructive. This applies to any full-fidelity duplication, digital, physical, or otherwise.
And you'd still have questions on if the duplicate was the same as the original, even then, no matter how exact it was.
