It's just a cost center.
- xwdv 5y agoEven the upload itself is just a cost center. Just tell people they’ve been uploaded and they can die in peace.
- oblio 5y agoI love how geeks readily fantasize over this "no body" experience when everything we know about how our conscience is shaped is determined by our body. You can't really separate the two without us turning into something else. Our bodies define the human experience. I know that we really, really want to be some ethereal beings, but we're not. I'm not even sure the "no body" situation is superior, we'd probably be psychologically very different and I'm not convinced we'd be better (not feeling pain, for example, is a pretty sure fire way to lose empathy).
