>>163081>So, for me brain upload thing is no different from dyingur right but u sort of have to. when everyone else has done it. and if u don't ur not just left behind, but completely useless. but it's not like it's instantaneous anyway, just copied somewhere, but gradual, with implants etc, until at some point most of ur intellect is outside ur brain, so the biological parts just become unnecessary, and unnoticable if they just suddenly disappeared
or then in heavier scenario, at some point ur meatbody existence is so expensive that they'll forcibly do it to u too, "for ur own good". well this is predicated on some uncontrollable using all matter in the solar system for computation matroshka brain thing where keeping some eart, when u can simulate the same thing on some container sized thing, becomes such an absurd and irrational proposition for the uploaded humanity
but yeh i agree with u and would rather exist in a forest too. so i'm not really sure what to do in the coming decades. would they let me exist in a forest. is it really safe or private anymore to exist in a forest when rest of humanity has become some god thingy. it may not have been such a great thing to be born this late
