so I believe we'll get to a point of bci a synthetic neocortex running on top of our meat stack and exist partly in a virtual space , there will be a continuity of being . and I believe well get to a point we can resleeve

Alex Ames :
every few years, your body recycles every cell in your body. how do you know you're the same you from 10 years ago, and not some replica containing all the memories of the old you that's just a continuation of the previous version? at any given point you're just a continuation of the you from a moment ago. you're not a thing, you're a process; like music, not like a painting. It doesn't matter what the medium is, whether it's silicon or carbon.

Read a synopsis of the plot to the game Soma and this concept will terrify you

i am a transhumanist and i seriously doubt the proposition of uploading your consciousness, and i think the quest for immortality is at best naive

Here’s a good faith response from someone who seriously wants to do this. I don’t actually expect my consciousness to be uploaded at all. I know it’s copy and paste, not cut and paste. But I’m okay with that. If the copy of me has all my memories, then they’re me. They’re me in every way that counts, and they will get to experience all the things I won’t be able to. I don’t see it as narcissistic, I see it as a sacrificial act of pure self love.

This has always tripped me up in movies/tv shows/literature. A copy of you still isn’t “you” or your consciousness. It may think it’s you but I can’t see this ever working in practice

It’s a copy of us, not us. Digital uploads are impossible as far as I know. All “transfer” of data is just copying. But not all of us want to upload. Some just want negligible senescence.

Play the game SOMA. It’s awesome and essentially what this is. It’s a horror game fair warning

but Christians believe in immortality as well, just in the after life. you wouldn't call that narcissism

The cloud doesn’t want us there. When we finally encounter non human intelligence/consciousness it is going to be so different and difficult for us to understand. And why would we assume they want anything to do with us?

The only way I would ever consider uploading my consciousness digitally is a ship of Theseus style replacement of the brain. If I just copy and upload, it won't be my consciousness at the wheel.

Cyberpunk 2077 explores this problem in depth. “Constructs” being copies of a mind that vary in quality as the technology improves is the main contradiction of the story that drives the plot forward. The idea originates in William Gibson’s Neuromancer though.

It’s like the transporter in sci fi. At best it sounds like you’re just cloning your consciousness. It’ll be a version of you, but it won’t be you.

Without the input of our physical bodies, our minds would go insane rather quickly. Just imagine how quiet it is.
