Truth be told, I've never been much interested in the concept of "uploading" consciousness. I find the concept of physical longevity (a la, Aubrey De Grey's research) to be more practical, achievable and desirable.
- sbierwagen 15y agoAh, so you don't back up the files on your computer either?
- michaelchisari 15y agoYes, I do, because when I lose files, I'm still alive to care about it. When I'm dead, I won't know better.
- sbierwagen 15y agoYes, the point of copying yourself is the "not dying". Physical longevity won't do a whole lot against a roadside bomb.
- michaelchisari 15y agoYes, the point of copying yourself is the "not dying". Yes, and my point is that I don't really care about "not dying". I care about living a long time. Getting hit by a bus (or killed by a roadside bomb) doesn't bother me. Growing old and living for three decades in constant pain and discomfort does.
