I've already uploaded the neural state of my brain as of 2013-02-03 to Google Music as 20,000 mp3 files. Once biotechnology catches up, I will simply resume from this backup and recommence posting on /prog/.

How did you scan the neural state of your brain without destroying it? Also, the person that will resume will be a copy of 'you' from when the time the state was recorded, you will still die nevertheless.

It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead…which should make all the difference…shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never know you were in the box, would you? It would be just like being asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you, not without any air – you'd wake up dead, for a start, and then where would you be? Apart from inside a box.
I would be illogical if I was to deny my personal expirences (the most empirical thing there is).
You would be illogical if you didn't find a scientific way to test them for accuracy.
that's what you think.
And it's true. It's the same as if you make a perfect copy of yourself, you split off, you live for another few years and then you die. You will still have experienced death.

I suppose next you are going to tell me that the copy lacks a ``soul''?
hard to say if it will have a soul.. might depend on the tech of the time..? but lets just assume the tech is fine.. 'It' will be you, but you will not be 'It'..
'Why is me, I?' as opposed to 'Why am I me?' .. =)

*reads about sophism... ^^
So, what that is asking, is not 'why aren't i someone else?', but 'why isn't someone else me?'..

Oh yeah. There's PLENTY I can do about it. I can make peace with God and ensure I have a greatplace in the afterlife by accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

I remember thinking about that when I was... 5.
By the way, I'm just wondering: have you goys ever craved jewish cock so badly that you found yourself running around outside, howling at the moon for it? Literally ROARING at the top of your lungs, wanting nothing less than a jews's dick head churning against your glottal stop?

>>35 a science teacher once said, 'you will either be the last generation to die, or the first to live forever'..

but really, if you respect the life you have, you may be granted another.. living forever just seems like a way for the obscenely rich to be obscenely stupid..
Eh, every so often something bad or stupid will happen and I'll feel the compulsion to kill myself, out of nowhere. Something expedite, like throwing myself off a near window in a tall building. One of those times I'll fail to contain the urge, and I'll die suddenly and for no good reason. Guess in that respect most deaths are alike. But there will be no suicide note or anything, nothing elegant or profound. I'll just feel the urge to throw myself off a window and it'll happen as if it were nothing.
It feels weird, realizing that. It's not even as if I want to die.
