>If you could grow your own brain as large as you wanted, and live as long as you wanted with the physical robustness and energy of a 25-year-old, that alone seems like a road to godhood, though perhaps a slow one. If you could download knowledge directly, as another commenter suggests, that becomes a much faster road. A larger brain don't necessarily provide a better survival advantage. It's well known that average Homo Neanderthalensis had larger brains than our modern average follow humans. And if you don't survive, you are nowhere toward the road to thaumaturgic existence. What is the trade off is the most important question, as anywhere.
