Can't you learn new knowledge?
- WalterBright 11y agoUp to a point. The brain is very plastic and molds itself to its environment. If the person is older, and the environment is too different, it may just give up.
- rbanffy 11y agoI suppose in 500 years it'll be possible to get a better brain.
- WalterBright 11y agoReminds me of my leet DOS programming skilz :-)
- a8da6b0c91d 11y agoThis is such weird atomized view of a human life. Dare I say autistic. "Knowledge" and skills is not really the fucking point. You are built to serve here as part of a generation.
- AgentME 11y agoI think that's a worse sounding point of view. We only have value in context of our current generation?
- krapp 11y agoWould you even be allowed to? Who knows what the legal status will be for 'revived' persons that far into the future, or what return the company thawing you out will expect for their half millennium of investment in energy, maintenance and skills? Your brain might contain nothing of value to that society, except as a store of archaic knowledge, or maybe as a substrate for computing. They may never even bother reviving someone as a conscious, self-aware being, or if they do, it may be for a zoo or a lifetime of slavery for the machines which I assume for no particular reason will have taken over.
