The only way around that problem is continuous piecemeal replacement of individual neurons over a long period to keep the electrical pattern intact.

Potentially. We have no idea if a human soul can successfully attach to an inorganic thought matrix, however.

the internet is a machine, and its going to outlive all of us. uploading your brain is about becoming software, the ability to copy yourself into a billion places and not be confined by a single device (like a body)

since the soul is contained within the neurons and not magic, it most certainly can. what is "organic" after a certain point anyway

the real problem is do you die :|

If you download your brain into a computer, you are still going to die as your brain will die, it's just that you've made a copy of your brain. You cease to be, and there is just a copy in your place. Sorry folks, no matter what you do, you just aren't going to be able to escape death. Most peoples' brains probably aren't worth preserving, anyway.

Yeah wrestling is fake but it's also good. Honestly if pro wrestling wasn't fake it would probably be pretty boring. Really cool moves like tombstone piledrivers would paralyze or kill you if done for real. Actual real wrestling is just two guys hugging on a mat which is only really interesting if you're turned on by that

I guess my point is that yeah, Copy Me is going to be aware that he's a copy but since he's me, he won't give a poo poo and will go out and bang some 3D anime waifus.

And if there's an eternal soul then the essence of Real Me is going to be reincarnated or in some afterlife or haunting the burnt-out post-apocalyptic shell of Earth and won't care what Copy Me is doing in the singularity.

anyway op you gotta get down with robots like ray kurzweil and do several hits of DMT and come up with ludicrously optimistic predictions like

"ray kurzweil predicts you can buy ten sexbots for a dollar in 2030" or "ray kurzweil predicts you can rent a lovely apartment located inside the Internet in 2043" or even "ray kurzweil arrested for streaking and being under the influence in 2016"

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
The last episode of Black Mirror was one of the best episodes and it dealt in part with copies of consciousness being tortured with distorted perceptions of time. If they behaved they were relegated to doing housework forever.

It was a good episode

Lol @ the entire concept of storing human consciousness, human consciousness can't operate in anything that isnt shaped and arranged pretty much exactly like a human brain, including the chemical components

We're an eternity away from trying to Port that to something else, but i guess you could create some sort of chinese room hell-ghost using binary computers?
