or you could do as Nixon does...

But then what am i supposed to do for a body?

I have no idea how transferring your conscience would work, really. If you just copypaste your neurons and memories, wouldn't you just make a clone of your brain? I dunno, anyone got any good theories on this?

May interest you.

As great a premise for a scary story as that is, what incentive would the "technicians" have to do this?

>>179
It's a hypothetical question, why would I know.

Why ask about the least important part of the question anyway?

>Live forever
>Get money
>Smoke trees
>Fuck bitches (With your robo-cock)

How would technicians copy the information?

But wouldn't there be 2 separate consciousnesses of you existing at any given time? What if you stepped into the transfer machine, and walked out human, saw the robot with your brain? But at the same time the robot would think he was you, and that the transfer was successful. It's kind of like the film "The Prestige", you have to take the risk of being the man who goes into the box, or the man who comes out of the box. There has to be a way that this could be done so that you would never lose consciousness, or so that there would never be a point where a clone existed of you. Could there possibly be a way to keep the human you from dying or being cloned, and instead upgrade it slowly until it was ageless?

Assuming we have the technology, I suppose you could.

Or just transfer someone's brain as they are on their deathbed, and let the robot live in place of the deceased.

All I know is I want to ditch the flesh and blood asap.

>All I know is I want to ditch the flesh and blood asap.
Same here. I don't want to live forever, but I'd at least like to live somewhere 350 years or so.

I don't think the problem of having the human mind work so vastly different from a robotic 'mind' or a computer really. Lemme give an example. Our memory is contextually based, or at least most of the species has contextual memory. Yes, that does help explain de ja vu. A computer doesn't 'think' or really recall information that way, its more efficient in the terms of retrieving the right information when you need it. It just searches through the data that it has till it finds the exact thing that is being queried.

That's just one example. The conclusion to this is that the 'technicians' will either have to replicate how the human mind works perfectly, including simulating major biological functions and even a degree of chaos (possible I think with quantum computing), or you'll not be you any more when your mind is downloaded.
