RE: Downloading Consciousness So You Can Live On Forever. Would You Want To? Conversation Starter!
I would definitely take the pill! For the losing loved ones, yes, it would be difficult, but love in the physical state isn't forever, if it was, it wouldn't be so special. So I would ache at the loss of loved ones, but find joy in what once was.
I'm a believe in a spirit reincarnating itself into another person, So It'd be a mission to find past loved ones, in their new body.
I would like to believe, if this does come about in the future, that we would have the ability to delete our consciousness, decided by our own mind. If not, that's when things get tricky.
It is a real possibility that this can actually become the situation. That we are not able to decide ourself. That we may be backup all the time into media that are not in our control, maybe they are in the control of AI? Maybe because copies of our mind are living in Blockchains? Since these are real possibilities, I have no conclusive answer. But I stick to my statement in previous message: IF I can control myself when I should be deleted forever, than I go for the dl/up thing. The pill is another thing though, unless we can also dl/ul/dl minds so that through that mechanism I can end my mind.
