A day in the future: “2 places at the same time”
”A day in the future” will be a series of posts about fictional and "mundane" conversations people will have in the future. The goal for me here is to present futurists day to day interactions from a human point of view.
In a not so distant future
2 friends are chatting about what they are going to do that night
-Charles Jones: ... and don’t worry Melanie, I will be in the concert even if I have to split myself in 2
-Melanie: I hope so! Talk to you later xoxo
-Charles Jones (minutes later): hey what’s up Tom! I didn’t expect you!
-Tom: you didn’t expect me? You know I am working a lot in my TomFest and I really need you dude, a lot of fans are asking for you to show up in the concert
-Charles Jones: sure thing bro when do you need me?
-Tom (smiling): I need you tonight!
-Charles Jones: tonight! I have another compromise tonight and you know I am not the biggest fan of that weird multitasking thing
-Tom: brother you know I love you like a brother right? And today is my birthday, it would make me sooo happy if you could just go and spend some with us.
-Charles Jones: man you really know how to convince people... wait for me there I will go. You owe me!
Charles Jones (at night): all right, well I have no way out of this... HAL initiate neuro-synthetic cloning process. I want just 1 copy.
HAL (an artificial intelligence): initiating process, please confirm conscience deactivation code
Charles Jones: confirmed code, see you in a bit
HAL (a little while later): hello, cloning process finished.
Charles: excellent
Jones: excellent
Charles (looking at Jones and excited): holy sht! I do this 100 times and 100 times I got excited!
Jones (looking at Charles): WTF! I was gonna say the same thing
Charles: well brother we know what we need to do, I go and spend the night with Melanie and you go with Tom
Jones: take care! Remember you are me!
Charles (next morning): heyy how was your night? I had a great time! We played music until dawn!
Jones: I also had a great time bro! As you know, Tom is quite a character we played until there mas no one else at the party hahaha
Charles: AWESOME! I want to feel that experience now!
Jones: and I want to feel yours! Let’s start the fusion process right now! HAL initiate fusion process of 2 neuro-synthetic instances into one
HAL: initiated process, please confirm conscience deactivation code
Charles: confirmed code
Jones: confirmed code
HAL (a while later): hello, fusion process finished
Charles Jones (talking to himself): I am sure if I could travel back to the 2000s and tell people this will be possible in the future, they would call me crazy and put me inside of a mental hospital!!
Do you think in the future an interaction like this would be possible?

Very interesting write! If it was possible, there is no counting how many times I would split myself to be more productive and to be able to experience so many different things I am now not able to try in a single bent on sustaining oneself lifetime!
The future has a lot of surprises for us!
And of course being more productive would be another good reason to “split” ourselfs.
Although things like the one I describe here could have psychological implications I am planning to discuss on another post.
mentally, perhaps...
the biological part would be messy.
When we reach technological singularity things will improve even faster than today’s. Much faster.
In order for this story to be possible, Charles Jones would need to be a synthetic human, not a biological one like us.
I hear what you are saying
BUT
the definition of technological singularity (or any kind of singularity)
is that it's impossible to predict what happens after that point.
It’s true, it’s just speculation because we cannot know for sure. I see this as entertainment and food for thoughts
Speculative Fiction is the vaccine against Future Shock.
Interesting point of view you have there
