Will you upload your consciousness onto a computer to avoid death?
If/when the technology comes out to do so will you or will you have faith in God enough to trust that he exists and your immortal soul exists and has a plan for you?

Thats what it comes down to. The futurists have zero faith in God. And thats why they are taking their own initiative to survive death. Taking extreme measures and going to great lengths to erect a technological utopia for themselves either with hardware or software living in a computer simulation.

Would you take the anti aging immortality serum? Or would you take a leap of faith into the darkness and choose death hoping you land softly on the other side?

Cant say I totally blame the futurists. The evidence for the soul and God is quite slim. Theyre tired of Gods silence. But I cant help feeling that this is wrong. Like original sin tower of babel kind of wrong.

Re: Will you upload your consciousness onto a computer to avoid death?
I've been thinking of this lately, and if it's possible, I should be able to send a sign to myself in the present from the future assuming time loops over and over. I'd be more apt to take something to stay healthy and young instead of loading myself into a computer. If loaded to a computer is drive myself nuts wondering if it was all of me that was loaded and if I had been modified in the process.

I wonder what it really even means to be uploaded onto a computer. Does it actually transfer actual awareness and consciousness or just raw speech and memory pattern data without your sentience. And would you be connected to the internet? Could you enter into videogames and movies and have limitless creative abilities? What would it actually be like? Or could you be trapping yourself inside an electronic prison?

All you can upload is memory. Not yourself.

The computer will not be you. Because you are your body, ie the whole metabolism.

Nah, consciousness is more than just your brain patterns. It's your chemical balance and senses too.

You guys go for it, I'm good.

Hmm, thats been the opposite for me. The more I learned the more compassion I had. Maybe youre not learning the right things and only focusing on negativity. Think of it, with enough knowledge intake that is inevitably going to include the awareness of the feelings of other beings which is empathy which creates sympathy and compassion. It follows necessarily.

Well perhaps or perhaps not God but the vast majority like 99% of the entire history of human religion and spiritual belief systems claimed this. Seems to be an ingrained and universal quality much like morality. Theres subset variances but broadly there seems to be some sort of objective universal belief in the supernatural and morality. It would seem God is the best explanation. Lots of well documented medical, scientific and psyche eval NDE evidence that would suggest this as well.
