Nice post GB. I don't agree with it as it is my opinion we only get one kick at the can. However, it's an honest and GB original thought rather than some random quote or obtuse comment. Wish there was more of this from you.

Is there a computer that has the capacity to hold every thought a single human ever thunk? Every visual and auditory memory? Every smell, touch and taste?

Essentially, we're talking about the transference of the actual consciousness of an individual to a machine. Plug it into the internet and then what would we get? The antichrist? 😉

I know it is petty, but thinly veiled attempts to lend legitimacy to a story through such pedantic displays serve nothing more than to take away from the point rather than add to it.

Really? You don't think they will attempt to upload the neuronet of a human brain to a computer? I'm calling it "neuronet" for lack of a better word.

And when we're born again we deny ourselves.
